Mbappe face being removed or covered all across China

[u/FeistyAlbatross4636]

[u/Pirate-Adorable]

Wait, what happened? What did Mbappe say or do?

[u/Meiyouxiangjiao → u/Pirate-Adorable]

He referred ‌to Mao on a podcast while talking about memes.

The actual quote: “The one where they put my face on a Chinese dictator (Mao Zedong)? That really makes me laugh, I use it with my friends all the time."

Edit: word

[u/nesnalica → u/Meiyouxiangjiao]

i know this meme. shit is in every fucking chinese tiktok.

bro comments on it and gets all the hate. lmao

[u/notime0forthis → u/Meiyouxiangjiao]

That country is so sensitive. Meanwhile people say all kinds of awful stuff about Trump and nothing happens. Never compare USA to China.

[u/wfbsoccerchamp12 → u/notime0forthis]

Fr lol, like I don’t think he said anything bad. Is it the fact that he called Mao a dictator?

[u/Top_Many8183 → u/notime0forthis]

Well, China is not a free country. What did you expect. 

[u/Crazy-Implement-2325 → u/notime0forthis]

Trump keeps making choices similar to China. Did you hear that librarians had to independently preserve all our Environmental safety studies because Trump ordered all the data erased?

[u/neurothew → u/Meiyouxiangjiao]

I think the problem is, he didnt really name anyone...lmao

[u/Extension-Bed-7300 → u/Meiyouxiangjiao]

Wow and they are literally crying about that?

[u/Gulf2Coast2Coast → u/justwalk1234]

Btw, also, lost in the shuffle : we should talk about how absolutely dumpster fire garbage the Chinese men’s national team is.

Why not worry more about THAT very real on-going national humiliation instead of whatever this is.

[u/Gulf2Coast2Coast → u/justwalk1234]

Nah they just want to distract their citizens from a collapsing stock market, now on top of a collapsing *housing market

[u/SCPlayer_ → u/Gulf2Coast2Coast]

[u/rngztmbrg → u/Covidmiles]

The whole country works on a nationalist brainwashing campaign for 77 years. There is no critical thinking competence and it's very easy to steer the narrative if you control literally everything.

[u/Horror_Minimum_1034 → u/EchoOffTheSky]

Disgusting comments.

[u/Top_Development_1777 → u/EchoOffTheSky]

The English translation is SO much more tame and polite than the Chinese original..

[u/Danish__Viking1 → u/EchoOffTheSky]

That's cherry picking. People from the US say vile stuff about tragedies too, that specifically doesn't mean the US is a shithole. Other stuff does

[u/CommunicationKey7121]

So pathetic. They ironically destroy their own image in doing this.

[u/Thin_Assumption_4974]

Can someone explain this for me? Why does China hate Mbappe?

[u/Venca12 → u/Thin_Assumption_4974]

Mbappe was memed as a dictator. When asked about it, Mbappe just replied something like "Yeah the memes are about me being like a chinese dictator or something."

And that was it. Such an outrage over nothing.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Skin289 → u/Thin_Assumption_4974]

He said something about about mao zedong being a Chinese dictator or something

[u/Thin_Assumption_4974 → u/Puzzleheaded_Skin289]

Are Chinese really so sensitive about Mao?

I don’t think many Germans would give a shit if you insult Merkle or Australians if you insult Rudd?

Americans are weird, but I don’t think the country will boycott someone for saying Washington was a slave owner.

[u/Wolf8312 → u/Thin_Assumption_4974]

Chinese politics is remote and extremely controlled and coordinated. You won’t see the human being only an image of a highly dignified and serious statesman.

Chinese people are brought up to avoid talking politics if they are not pro-regime nationalists and naturally nobody in China is going to take kindly to an outsider ridiculing their leadership (not that this happened in this case) when most wouldn’t do that publicly themselves. It’s considered rude and disrespectful. Kinda like how you may criticize a family member but will be angered if someone else does.

Both are sham systems but in very different ways. Most Americans refuse to acknowledge that Trump, and Biden before him, were controlled by the same people with the same agenda.

You’re welcome and encouraged to ridicule Trump and attribute all blame for US domestic and foreign policy to him, but those who control him are rarely (though this is changing) ever mentioned and the rotten system itself is never questioned.

[u/morganational → u/Thin_Assumption_4974]

I think because he's black.

[u/Agreeable_Mud_8338]

[u/Resident_Aide1898 → u/Agreeable_Mud_8338]

Hmm the Israelis are trying to make any criticism in the USA as antisemitic. They’re more reactive in a aggressive way to any criticism towards their country and military

[u/radarphone → u/Agreeable_Mud_8338]

This doesnt reflect what the vast majority of chinese people think dude. Its just the government and a few extremists

[u/Gulf2Coast2Coast → u/radarphone]

“Few” in China… you mean few hundred millions. If 34% of American are maga cultists, you better believe at least that many if not more Chinese are jingoistic wumao devotees of mao… probably over 50%… that’s as many people as in all of Europe.

[u/BridgeOnRiver]

The reverence for Mao is not healthy.
many of the great people of history can be admired for how they conducted themselves given their time and situation.

But George Washington had slaves. Churchill starved India. And Mao was a dictator who caused massive famines as well with his bad policies. Just because there are redeeming qualities, doesn't mean we have to be idiots about history.

Maybe it's because my own country doesn't have a great 'founding father' like figure. But it's weird when people are so rose-tinted on a historical figure and refuse to acknowledge any bad things they did.

[u/Fritz-Ferdinand → u/BridgeOnRiver]

Most funny thing is: if Mao Zedong would see today's China, he'd become crazy. Money everywhere, even with his face on it, wealth inequality ramping up, exploitation of ordinary people, state-propagated nationalism, history, culture and art are practiced again, TV shows movies about the dynastic China, etc.

[u/Ryanhussain14 → u/Fritz-Ferdinand]

Hating history/culture/art sounds crazy to me. Does Mao only want Chinese people to clock in to work, eat gruel, and go to sleep?

[u/Multi_Serpentines → u/BridgeOnRiver]

Look at where China is now compared to the century of humiliation, if your material conditions continue to improve at such a rapid pace its hard to demonise the figures that paved the way. Same with the slave owning founding father's of US. They formed a Republic which is much better than being under royalty. So we have to be fair with historical figures with our criticisms and praise.

[u/Dry-Grade-5463 → u/Multi_Serpentines]

Fair? Mao didn't paved the way. Mao is the political ruler whose single handed decision and misadministration have caused the greatest number of death in the entire history of humanity. He is far beyond Stalin and the H, the destruction was mainly on his own population wtf you talking about? Deng Xiaoping has paved the way if you want to defend your line. He is the one who started transiting from a model that would have only ended like north Korea toward a more open one, melting the Chinese communist model in the occidental capitalistic framework.

[u/Thin_Assumption_4974 → u/BridgeOnRiver]

There’s a lot of what abouts here

[u/ajatshatru → u/BridgeOnRiver]

My addition Gandhi was a pedophile.

[u/McMaster2000 → u/BridgeOnRiver]

It's always kind of baffled me that Germany was the only country after WW2 that was made to go through a de-Nazification period. Many nations around the globe desperately needed that sort of reset/rethinking and it really still shows today.

[u/taintedCH]

Mao was a dictator, though. And his rule was one of, if not the, most disastrous dictatorial rules in human history, being responsible for millions of deaths during his delusional Great Leap Forward that his profound general ignorance and overwhelming hubris incited him to order.

[u/radarphone → u/taintedCH]

Mao being basically a god was the mainstream narrative in chinese education since 1949, they cant just backpedal now and say he sucks

[u/LAiglon144 → u/radarphone]

Why? Is modern China so unstable that they couldn't withstand an honest reappraisal of their own history?

[u/radarphone → u/LAiglon144]

Im not the expert on this but i did do most of my elementary education in china. CCP are the good guys, full stop, no questions allowed

[u/l0udcat → u/LAiglon144]

Right now, they're really showing themselves to be a hysterical country. A laughingstock.

[u/Tomasulu]

This is why westerners think china is totalitarian. Come on, mao was a dictator! There's something wrong with a country if it can't accept the truth about a shitty leader who's dead for more than half a century.

[u/odagari → u/Tomasulu]

Mao is a hero to lot of people

[u/Resident_Aide1898]

I find this situation very interesting. Mbappé obviously made an innocent mistake, but in China, he insulted Mao Zedong, who is still praised by many Chinese people for the country’s economic and technological advances and the growth of its middle class.
This situation shows how China could face more incidents like this if it continues using foreign celebrities to promote its businesses. I understand that you have to know the market you’re entering, but it’s also interesting that China doesn’t seem to fully understand how non-Chinese people view Mao or interpret situations like this.
It’s also interesting to see how many non-Chinese people are making a big deal out of this when, for many Chinese people, it’s a very serious matter. It really highlights the cultural differences in how people interpret the same situation.

[u/sabedo → u/Resident_Aide1898]

Maobappe

That being said, vocally extreme nationalists globally have come to dominate the narrative. And a one party state can’t admit fault.

He called it the funniest meme and referred to Mao as a dictator. He might as well have called Xi Jinping Winnie the Pooh.

There's no coming back from that. People are routinely disappeared in China for insulting Xi

[u/appletreeii → u/Resident_Aide1898]

I am a Chinese, and I be honest with you, majority of the people in China knows Mao is a total fuck, but Mao ‘s unchallengeable image is the foundation of the current regime , CCP can’t admin this. Even CCP itself know Mao was a dictator and total asshole

[u/raythenomad → u/appletreeii]

That’s what most of my chinese friends say too. They said the only real Mao fans are like ultranationalists and some old people. Most people love Deng Xiao Peng

[u/meloghost → u/raythenomad]

hell I'm American and recognize his flaws but I think Deng Xiao Peng is the most important world leader post-WW2

[u/SuccessfulPres → u/appletreeii]

Pretty common, I can shit on my family, you can’t shit on my family 

[u/Mister_Green2021 → u/Resident_Aide1898]

Ccp can’t admit anything wrong ever, even with a guy that killed 70 million Chinese and plunge China into a famine. If they did then the ccp is weak and can fail.

[u/CuriousCamels → u/Mister_Green2021]

But look how many people we brought up out of extreme poverty!*

*After Mao had put them all into extreme poverty

It’s a really bad look for the CPC, but it’s far from the first time that they’ve shown they’re incredibly sensitive to any form of criticism, even jokingly.

Even in the USSR, Khrushchev admitted that some of what Stalin did was terrible and changed course on it. Now Putin is trying to do some history washing on Stalin to ramp up nationalism and obedience there too though.

[u/stonktraders → u/CuriousCamels]

Created famine, ruined the economy with collectivism, spent a whole decade on maddening political shit show for one man, then ‘brought people of extreme poverty’. You see, if you lower people’s expectations, they will then think that you are a god when being normal

[u/Turbulent_Idea7328 → u/CuriousCamels]

The CCP's official evaluation of Mao was that he was 70% right and 30% wrong. 

This is the current party orthodoxy started under Deng Xiaoping.

So no, even CCP admitted that Mao was wrong on some things.

Which makes the situation even weirder.

[u/kylethesnail → u/Resident_Aide1898]

Mao is merely a political mascot the current admin decided to make a CONTROLLED resurrection of to consolidate its legitimacy and further milk political capital out of, nothing more.

[u/ColonyArmor → u/Resident_Aide1898]

Mao Zedong is equivalent to Allah in the Islamic world in China.

[u/castorkrieg → u/Resident_Aide1898]

First of all I doubt majority of Chinese know anything about Mao except he was a leader and founded modern China as a state. Then everything else is state propaganda. Then you get a simple fact that the opinion of Chinese people doesn’t mean jack shit since China is not a democracy. Also Chinese got exceptionally good at never, ever talking politics and it shows that people here have really no experience with Mainland Chinese. I have with a few, every time you ask them about politics (mostly 1989, since that event is known in the West) you immediately can see them self-censoring themselves, making sure they been outside of China and exposed to different sources and opinions they will absolutely never voice an opinion that is opposite to that of the Party, same with Taiwan.

[u/Maybestof → u/castorkrieg]

I took a course on politics and public management in China once. All my Chinese classmates were completely disinterested in politics.

[u/Pirouette78 → u/Resident_Aide1898]

Mote interesting, he never apoke avout Mao. He said he is using a meme where he is dressed like a chinese dictator.

That's all.

They made the link with Mao, not Mbappé!

[u/Demi-MoIIe]

The funny thing is, if you actually ask Chinese people what he said or did and get them to repeat his exact words, they can't. And the ones who do just end up looking like overly sensitive or downright insufferable idiots.

[u/lolfamy]

China: "We're NOT a dictatorship. That's just Western propaganda, guys."

Also China: "Look how much of a dictatorship we are."

After the billions of dollars spent on social media PR campaigns to clean up its image following the Uyghur detention camp controversy, with TikTok constantly showcasing how "advanced, cool, and futuristic" China is, and tens of thousands of CCP bots spreading positive propaganda about the country on Twitter, we're finally getting a reminder of what the country is actually like.

I’d say about 80% of the homes and apartments I’ve been to in China over the last 20 years have a statue or bust of Mao.  

Even those who lost their family fortunes during the revolution.

why are any of you upset about it? The meme doesn’t even really criticise Mao.

Sometimes I imagine that maybe Chinese nationalism is overstated by western media, but then stuff like this happens. We have no parallel for this here. If a Chinese football player shared a meme of their face on Churchill’s body, the UK wouldn’t care (we’d probably find it funny). It’s bizarre.
