❌ Blackout in China: LALIGA matches banned after Mbappé's comments

China's state television has confirmed the indefinite suspension of LaLiga broadcasts in the country, according to the EFE news agency. The drastic measure comes in response to deep anger over remarks made by Kylian Mbappé.

China Media Group (CMG) has flatly rejected Real Madrid's explanations. The club argued that the French forward was exercising his freedom of expression without intending to offend, an argument Beijing considers wholly insufficient.

The Chinese state broadcaster says the player's remarks “go beyond freedom of expression.” It therefore warns that the Madrid club cannot evade its institutional responsibility for the resulting diplomatic and sporting dispute.

The television blackout does not affect only Spanish league matches. The order includes a complete ban on any match or content linked to Mbappé, as well as the immediate withdrawal of his commercial advertising campaigns.

China's position on resuming Spanish football broadcasts is firm. According to EFE, the authorities warn that until the club offers a satisfactory apology, “there is nothing to discuss.”
