@whatsgoingon.global: Kylian Mbappé is in damage control after a viral clip showed him joking that his favorite meme of himself was being photoshopped onto "some guy — I think he's a Chinese dictator," referring to Mao Zedong. Major Chinese brands, including Dongpeng Beverage, immediately dropped him, and Chinese state TV even suspended La Liga broadcasts. Mbappé apologized in French, Chinese, and English, calling the comment "ill-judged." The hashtag "Dongpeng ends partnership with Mbappé" hit 430 million views on Weibo. A brutal lesson in how fast brand deals can vanish. 💸 #Mbappe #China #BreakingNews #RealMadrid #WhatsGoingOn
