Real Madrid apologised to Chinese people after Kylian Mbappe’s description of Mao Zedong as a “dictator” prompted a backlash. Chinese broadcaster Migu will not show the club’s weekend match, and several Chinese brands have ended cooperation with Mbappe. La Liga’s president met China’s ambassador and is considering further engagement amid concerns about lost revenue.
François Picard speaks with Luxembourg-based French-Serbian sports writer and analyst Igor Mladenovic about the backlash in China to Kylian Mbappé’s playful reference to a meme portraying him as Mao Zedong. Mladenovic says the episode shows how an apparently harmless anecdote by a football star can spiral into a geopolitical firestorm in the digital age.
Real Madrid sent China Media Group an apology through La Liga over controversial remarks by Kylian Mbappe. The club expressed respect for China and its people and said it hoped to deepen friendly ties. CMG had condemned the remarks as crossing a red line and said the club also bore responsibility; Mbappe had previously apologized publicly.
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe quickly fell out of favor in China after remarks about Mao Zedong, in a familiar sequence of online outrage, corporate distancing, platform restrictions and official intervention.

The war in the Middle East has never truly stopped. As votes are counted in Israel, no clear winner has emerged, while people in Lebanon expect little change in Israeli policy.
FFrance 24Original★★★☆☆2026-10-28 15:36
After an uncertain Israeli election, the key question is not necessarily which party wins the most seats, but which leader can form a viable coalition. Correspondent Tamar Sebok says smaller parties can wield outsized influence, and campaign declarations ruling out cooperation with Arab parties may not hold once coalition talks begin.
With nearly all votes counted, Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition has lost its majority, while the main opposition bloc also falls short of an outright majority. Palestinian parties made substantial gains. Absentee ballots remain to be counted, leaving the path to forming a government uncertain.
With 85% of votes counted after Tuesday’s election, neither Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition nor Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc appears likely to win a majority. Forming a government may require a leading party to break campaign promises, making another election the likeliest outcome. Other possibilities include a unity government, Arab-party support for the opposition, or right-wing parties in Eisenkot’s bloc defecting to Netanyahu.
Exit polls project that Israel’s Arab-led parties could win a record 17 Knesset seats. Together with Gadi Eisenkot’s opposition bloc, they could potentially reach a parliamentary majority and unseat Benjamin Netanyahu, but observers cite ideological opposition and resistance to relying on Arab votes as barriers to a partnership.
Turnout in Israel’s election topped 77%, the highest in nearly three decades, but no clear winner has emerged. Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a strong right-wing government, and Likud is set to be the largest party in parliament. Rival Gadi Eisenkot says voters chose to end Netanyahu’s term, but neither side has a clear majority.
