Chinese platform makes surprise decision due to Mbappé crisis

The Chinese platform "Migu" has decided to remove the match between Real Madrid and Racing Santander from its TV broadcast schedule this weekend, amid a new escalation in the crisis between Kylian Mbappé and the Chinese government, despite the French player's apology, according to Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo".

The platform has around 400 million subscribers in China and broadcasts sporting events, including LaLiga matches, making the decision impactful for the transmission of the competition within the Chinese market.

The decision is linked to Kylian Mbappé's comments about Mao Zedong, which were followed by the Chinese government's decision to halt all business activities related to the player, including broadcasting matches in which he participates.

Real Madrid will face Racing Santander next Sunday, but the match will not be broadcast in China, which will have an economic impact on the royal club and LaLiga.

This development comes at a time when the crisis continues despite Kylian Mbappé's apology, with repercussions extending beyond the player to affect the commercial interests linked to LaLiga in China.
