China Central Television (CCTV) has suspended broadcasts of Spanish La Liga matches following remarks made by Kylian Mbappe, the Real Madrid striker, AS reports.
The 27-year-old France international recently spoke in an interview about memes depicting him as a dictator, describing a meme that superimposed his face onto an image of a “Chinese dictator” as the funniest. The remark was reportedly a reference to former Chinese leader Mao Zedong.
Following the incident, several Chinese companies ended their partnerships with the footballer. All advertisements and videos featuring Mbappe were pulled from the air.
