Controversy over Kylian Mbappé's remarks on Mao Zedong

On October 28, 2026, Marine Tondelier supports Kylian Mbappé after his remarks calling Mao Zedong a dictator, while La France insoumise abstains from commenting. The following day, Mathilde Panot refuses to describe Mao Zedong as a dictator after the player's apologies. Marine Tondelier then reaffirms this characterization and targets the Insoumis, against a backdrop of divisions on the China question. A communism specialist revisits the controversy, while a Chinese boycott targeting Mbappé and French giants such as Dior and Carrefour is analyzed.
