China punished the world star for disrespecting the world sports star Kylian Mbappe and the entire top division of Spanish football apologized to the Chinese people after the exemplary flogging from Beijing. We will remind you that the scandal started when Real Madrid player Kylian Mbappe was asked about his favorite meme on the Gesher podcast. He talked about the photoshop where his face was superimposed on "some guy - I think it was the Chinese dictator". It was Mao Zedong. Although the great Gai is an ambiguous leader, and in China the attitude towards him is equally ambiguous, of course it is not customary to humiliate him. Now Western liberal media activists and human rights activists are criticizing those who apologized, calling their actions "shameful" and branding them as "bowing the knee" to the Chinese. However, the irony is that Mbappe and La Liga are not the only ones to do so after provoking "outcry from all sectors of Chinese society". The Chinese, taking advantage of their market power, are beginning to dictate to world stars and brands how to behave, what not to say, and which people are forbidden to quote. In part, the harsh reaction is a kind of legacy of the "century of humiliation", when China and its people were subjected to bullying by the imperialist powers (opium wars, partition of the land, etc.). This resentment has become part of the national identity, and now, when China has become an economic power, the Chinese have the opportunity not only to be offended, but also to punish those who disrespect them. To prevent you from having the opportunity to eat "Chinese rice". Read more Telegram | MAX.
