Stepping on Xi Jinping's Red Line! Superstar Mbappé Breaks Down, Blasts Beijing's Dictator, China Cuts Ties and Terminates Contracts, CCTV Refuses to Broadcast Matches, Little Pinks Boycott and Demand Apology

The video discusses how French football superstar Kylian Mbappé sparked a collective boycott and contract cancellation wave by Chinese authorities, enterprises, and Little Pinks after mentioning a meme about Mao Zedong and dictators in an interview. The incident led multiple Chinese companies to cut ties, CCTV to suspend broadcasting related matches, and Mbappé ultimately issuing an apology statement overseas, which triggered sarcasm and discussion regarding China's public opinion environment and sensitive censorship.

My god, China really comes up with heartwarming major events from time to time, leading our Chinese football superstar Kylian Mbappé to actually refer to Mao Zedong as... As a result, the CCP authorities, CCP enterprises, and Little Pinks collectively collapsed on three fronts. Three Chinese companies successively canceled their contracts, and CCTV was even more ridiculous; this mouthpiece directly suspended the broadcasting of Spanish football matches involving him, and even La Liga was forced to apologize to China. Many of his social media accounts in China have already been restricted, blocked, and muted, including Weibo and Xiaofshongshu. What's even more absurd is that a Chinese beverage company actually held an emergency meeting at 11 PM just because of this Mao Zedong meme, while a normal interview chat by a Frenchman led the entire Chinese political, business, and grassroots circles to...

The incident originated from an interview clip from The Bridge widely circulated on October 26. The host asked the football superstar, "Netizens have made so many parody images of you into memes, which one is your favorite? Let's take a look at this video together." Speaking of this, the media put the meme image of the Chinese dictator on the internet. Note that he didn't even mention Mao Zedong directly; he directly said the so-called dictator of China. The Little Pinks instantly thought, this person is being sarcastic about our Chairman Mao! Didn't you always say that Mao Zedong is a great leader of the people? Why do you automatically associate yourselves when someone talks about the Chinese dictator? You make paper effigies, ugly pictures, and memes of Trump and Lai Ching-te all day long. Honestly, I feel nothing at all; I even find it very interesting, and I'll even screenshot them to make fun of myself, posting, "Look, I'm just like this." So what? Being narrow-minded to this extent is precisely why the Chinese government can sit securely on its throne, why Xi Jinping can keep securing a fourth term, the Fifth Plenary Session, the Sixth Plenary Session, and then continue to be a General Secretary re-elected until he is 150 years old after the 21st National Congress. It is because each and every one of you is just like Xi Jinping: untouchable and uncriticizable. A political figure of a certain country does not represent the ancestors of everyone in that country or of that ethnicity.

However, this football star Kylian Mbappé had actually been widely circulated in French football circles for this dictator meme, because in the past many people considered that his attitude toward our football affairs and personnel decisions was such that he was simply identical to a dictator. Therefore, people started photoshopping his face onto figures like Stalin and Mao Zedong. Furthermore, on September 11 of this year, this football superstar accepted an interview with French media, where he even stated that although some memes are quite funny, historical dictators caused massive casualties among the people, and he didn't like all of them. This is very strange. When AFP and Reuters initially reported on this matter, they even said that they could not determine the authenticity of the video and that it might be AI-generated. As a result, Chinese enterprises jumped out directly without verification. Now, looking back at how this football superstar ultimately withstood the pressure of 1.4 billion people—or rather, the pressure of 1.4 billion people held hostage by the Chinese Communist Party—he still ended up refuting his remarks from September 11 and apologized to the Chinese people, and even to groups like the overseas Chinese community. Just look at how Mao Zedong, under the pressure narrative of the CCP, could not only represent the 1.4 billion people ruled by the Communist Party, but even groups overseas of other nationalities with Chinese blood or ethnicity could also be represented by Mao Zedong.

What was the name of the Chinese enterprise that made the cut first? It was Dongpeng Beverage. At 9:43 on the morning of October 27, it announced the complete termination of its contract with Mbappé. I checked an interview in the National Business Daily and found a very strange detail. A Dongpeng executive revealed that actually, as early as late at night at 11:00 on October 26, when the matter began to ferment, the company's senior management held an urgent overnight meeting, a video conference, and even came to the company for an in-person meeting. All the senior executives in China were actually researching why a French football player thought Mao Zedong's meme was funny, and even why he could call Mao Zedong a dictator. Doesn't that sound bizarre? Suddenly in the middle of the night, this PR executive called and said, "Boss, something big has happened, Mbappé is in trouble." The chairman was startled: "What, did he drink and drive, or match-fix, or commit tax evasion? That's serious." "No, no, no, he said our Chairman Mao is a... you know, a dictator"—many Little Pinks online say "dictator" as "DC" because they dare not say it out loud. The chairman was terrified: "This is truly more serious than tax evasion, more serious than drunk driving, and more serious than match-fixing. We must cut ties with him immediately, otherwise tomorrow, all of China will boycott our drinks, just like boycotting Guan."

Even more ridiculously, Dongpeng only signed this French football star on April 20 of this year, and official media even praised him as a world-class superstar with global influence who could help Chinese brands go international. Yet in less than 6 months, a world-class superstar turned into a historical sinner. Aren't Chinese enterprises supposed to go global and want to make money from the whole world? Yet your minds are so narrow, and you go to other countries to criticize their leaders. Why don't you just attach a political exam from now on? If you want to come and develop in our country, right? Take this test paper with three questions and answer them well: Question 1, is Taiwan part of the five-star flag CCP China? Question 2, can Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping be called dictators? The final question, are we Chinese people happy, and is your country failing if you come here to make money? Answer one question wrong and your contract is terminated, answer two wrong and you're banned, answer three wrong and congratulations, you get to go inside and have a chat with Li Shangfu and Zhang Youxia.

The most ridiculous part comes now. This cutthroat involution-style competition—the enterprise Dongpeng Beverage expressed its break at 9:43 in the morning, right? Then Mengniu Dairy, another Chinese brand, also issued a red-header contract termination statement at 11:13. Then other brands like Milkground also followed suit to terminate contracts. Look at how they were originally supposed to compete on sales and performance, but now they are competing on who cuts ties later, because being late means you're dead. "I cannot lose to my competitor, I'm going to involution you to death, our patriotism must be involuted."

Then there is another enterprise, which is even more ridiculous—if you can even call it an enterprise—and that is Xiaohongshu (RedNote). Xiaohongshu also jumped out to condemn this French football star, announcing that it would take down all content related to past collaborations with him. They even specifically emphasized that they had already ended their partnership with him by the end of 2024. This is so bizarre; it’s like a celebrity getting into some controversy or scandal, and suddenly an ex-girlfriend who broke up with him two or three years ago runs out to tell everyone, 'Don't misunderstand, we have had no relationship for a long time.' How afraid are you? How desperate are you to quickly signal your loyalty to the CCP Central Committee? They are busy with the Fifth Plenary Session right now and don't have time to give a damn about this. But what follows is the real priority: the Chinese football media outlet Dongqiudi—it's just like Dongchedi, right? Dongchedi is for reviewing cars, and because they tested a Huawei car, they were turned into historical sinners and national scum. Now, this Dongqiudi has actually become the pride of China. On October 26, Dongqiudi publicly criticized this French star, saying his remarks hurt the feelings of the Chinese people. And what did they say at the end? 'I am unwilling to translate his relevant remarks.' What kind of logic is that? What exactly did he say that was insulting to China? You should just say it! You don't even dare to translate what he said, leaving the people to guess what he supposedly insulted, forcing them to go look at the comment section themselves to figure out that it was related to 'DC,' and then guess what that 'DC' actually is. What is wrong with this country? What is this country doing? Everyone knows, but no one dares to tear off that fig leaf. A great nation, with such developed technology, supposedly surpassing the UK and the US, yet discussing Mao Zedong still requires the use of Morse code. My God.

Even more embarrassing is that I dug up evidence of Dongqiudi's own self-contradiction. At 2:00 AM on October 27, they published news about the top ten in the Ballon d'Or rankings, and the name of the French star, Mbappé, appeared normally. Yet, less than five hours later, at 7:06 AM, the official ranking showed Kane in first place and Yamal in third, but the name of the French star who was in second place had disappeared—it became 'no such person.' What does this mean? They spent the time between 2:00 AM and 7:00 AM dealing with this political incident and simply erased the second-place finisher from the Ballon d'Or rankings. Even more amusingly, some Chinese netizens joked that we don't have a second place in this year's Ballon d'Or. Does one need to pass a political exam to win the Ballon d'Or in the future? For example, comparing shots on goal: Goal No. 1 has pictures of Trump, Lai Ching-te, and Sanae Takaichi; if you kick it in hard, you get 1 point. Goal No. 2 has pictures of Mao Zedong, Xi Jinping, Stalin, or Kim Jong-un; if you kick it in, you lose 100 points. Is this how it's going to be from now on?

Then the CCP's state media, CCTV, stepped in. Starting from the evening of October 26, they suspended the broadcast of all matches related to Mbappé and even took down the advertisements. I don't understand this. Of course, some might say Mbappé is French, so why should the Spanish league be forced to stop broadcasting? Because this Frenchman currently plays for Real Madrid, which is one of the teams in the Spanish league. Of course, there are many other different teams under the league, and all these people are affected. It's very simple; this is just a tactic the CCP is very good at playing—they want everyone to condemn you. But I want to ask one more thing: is this really about wanting everyone to condemn Mbappé, or is it about punishing Chinese fans? The French player is still playing football as usual, but the Chinese people themselves are not allowed to watch the games. The most surreal part is that on October 27, the president of La Liga, to which Mbappé belongs, apologized to all the Chinese people on his behalf. But the question is, will all relevant players have to take a course written by the CCP before giving interviews in the future? To understand everything—the Long March, Mao Zedong, Xi Jinping, and that the 'mainstay' of the War of Resistance Against Japan was the Communist Party hiding in the caves, not the Kuomintang, and certainly not the Republic of China. Do they have to take these classes first? That the retrocession of Taiwan is the 80-something anniversary of the return to the People's Republic of China? And only after passing these tests can you go out and play football, and only then can you act in Shaolin Soccer 3.

What is even more absurd is that even the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs got involved. On October 27, the spokesperson for the CCP Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this behavior hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and would naturally be met with a joint boycott from all sectors in China. Well, I want to ask, what remarks and what images hurt the feelings of the 1.4 billion Chinese people? Speak up. You don't even dare to say that. I remember when Zhao Lijian, 'Brother Jian,' was still serving as the spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a reporter asked him a question about June 4, and after stammering for twenty or thirty seconds, he just said, 'We have no comment on relevant remarks.' What are you doing? What are you doing? Mbappe fell for it, and he deserved to fall for it. Anyone who does not respect China and hurts the feelings of the Chinese people should not expect to earn a single penny from the Chinese market. They treat erroneous remarks as so-called individual expression and freedom of speech. We always welcome outstanding athletes and artists from all over the world to develop in China with an open and inclusive attitude. The national sentiments of the Chinese people must not be provoked, and the Chinese market will never leave a place for any arrogant and rude person.

There is another question: when did Mao Zedong come to represent the feelings of all 1.4 billion Chinese people? Trump cannot represent the feelings of all Americans, and Lai Ching-te cannot represent the feelings of all Taiwanese. So why is it that Mao Zedong can not only represent the feelings of all 1.4 billion people, but also represent the feelings of all yellow-skinned people in the Chinese-speaking world, and even represent our ancestors of eighteen generations who have already turned to dust? And do you know? The CCP itself admitted in its 1981 historical resolution that the Cultural Revolution was initiated and led by Mao Zedong, causing serious losses to the country and the people. The CCP also admitted that he made major mistakes. As a result, this person is still lying in that glass crystal coffin, being worshipped. The renminbi you have to pay for social security also features Mao Zedong. Aren't you supposed to be a 'People's Republic'? Furthermore, when we in Taiwan were discussing whether to remove these portraits from the New Taiwan Dollar and use animals or something else instead, so as not to have such authoritative or heroic figures on them, you CCP members had a breakdown. The Taiwan Affairs Office lashed out, saying we didn't respect history. Well, why don't you print Sun Yat-sen yourself? Why do you have to print Mao Zedong?

Here comes the ending: Mbappe (a slip of the tongue) apologized to everyone in the world on the night of October 27 in French, English, and Simplified Chinese, saying, 'I hurt the feelings of you people, I should respect the Chinese people and history.' Actually, it's very simple. If the Soviet Union were still in power today, if the German Nazis were still in power today, they wouldn't be considered dictators either. So it's very simple now: because the Nazis are gone and the Soviet Union is gone, you can say Stalin and the others were dictators. But the Communist Party is still here, so you dare not say that about Mao Zedong, or even about the current 'Holy Emperor.' But before he made his statement, the Chinese media had already banned him, so he could only post this apology on overseas media. This is very funny, isn't it? I think you made a mistake, right? I want you to apologize to me, and then I tape your mouth shut. 'Hurry up and apologize to me! Why won't you apologize to me?' Then he has to write it by hand, has to run to another classroom to take off the tape, and then film a video in another room to send to you: 'Look, this is my apology.' This is 'Socialism with Chinese characteristics,' right?

Besides, you should first care about your own mandatory social security issue starting on November 1, and the digital renminbi policy at the end of the year. Which is more important, a French star posting some meme, or your daily necessities? There is another piece of news that is also very interesting. On October 27, a CCP reporter went to the Pang Dong Lai shopping mall in Henan to ask why there were no more jerseys of this star. Was it sold out? The clerk said that there used to be a special jersey in the store, but it had long been bought by someone for about 24,800 yuan. Now I am very curious: does the Chinese fan who spent such a high price to buy the jersey and whose feelings were hurt now have to follow the official CCP narrative, film a video, burn the jersey, and say, 'It really hurt the feelings of us Chinese people, we all support Mao Zedong, and we hope even more that the current leader, Comrade Xi Jinping, will comprehensively and deeply study all the suffering initiated by Mao Zedong'? No, do you dare? If you don't burn it, are you hurting the feelings of 1.4 billion people? Then you should first go to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to surrender, right? Admit that you have collected this 'insulting to China' jersey. But conversely, if this incident hadn't happened, it would mean you slapped the CCP in the face, because the CCP said that Mao Zedong represents the feelings of 1.4 billion people. How can you, who don't even have the right to vote, be represented by him? I have a question mark.

The funny thing is, he represents all Chinese people or overseas Chinese, but what about the overseas Chinese on Twitter? They made tons of these memes to support this French football star, and even to satirize the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). So whose feelings are actually being hurt? In reality, it only hurts those at the core of the CCP Central Committee, right? In 2019, a German football star also openly criticized the CCP's policies toward Uyghurs in Xinjiang. At that time, he endorsed a football video game in China called eFootball, and he was directly banned by the game. In 2019 he was removed from the video game, and by 2026 even globally public awards like the Ballon d'Or can have him completely erased as if he never existed. Truly, that is with Chinese characteristics. No matter how much you delete him, he can still play football just fine in the rest of the democratic and free world. Therefore, the ones who truly lose all channels of information flow are none other than the Chinese people themselves. I am quite curious: assuming you don't buy his apology and continue the ban, or he doesn't apologize, and one day he happens to play against the Chinese national team and scores 3 goals, how will Chinese media report it? "The Chinese team unfortunately lost 0:3 today, but because the player in question previously insulted China, after review by our station, all three goals have been completely erased as if they never existed, so our China has won 0:0! Therefore, this time it is equivalent to the opponent forfeiting the match. Although it's 0:0, our China won because the person does not exist, and this player never participated. Lacking a player means they failed to qualify, so our China won!" In the future, just report it like that: gloriously defeated, isn't that great? Achieving another great spiritual victory, comparable to the Long March from 90 years ago. So China really doesn't lack heralds of good news; deep down in the hearts of the common people, everyone is a herald of good news. That's the end of today's video.
