Although Beijing has formally accepted the player&#039;s apology, the boycott of Mbapp\u00e9, Real Madrid, and La Liga persists. Three of the player&#039;s sponsors have severed all ties with him, while Chinese state television continues to suspend Spanish football matches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">China&#039;s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it took Mbapp\u00e9&#039;s apology seriously, but the outcry on social media in China shows no sign of abating. Real Madrid also released an official statement apologizing to the Chinese people, emphasizing respect for Chinese culture and fans, but this has not changed Beijing&#039;s position.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">This crisis has revealed Europe&#039;s fragility in the face of Chinese economic power, with La Liga emphasizing that China and the United States alone account for the majority of international television rights (\u20ac748 million in 2024-25). Furthermore, Spanish clubs derive significant revenue from Asian sponsors and Chinese markets, including commercial agreements and football academies in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Il confronto tra la cultura occidentale e cinese si \u00e8 cos\u00ec trasformato in una disputa sportiva e commerciale, con Pechino che continua a mantenere il proprio embargo nonostante le scuse e i tentativi di mediazione.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read also<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/goncalo-ramos-milan-ruben-amorim\/\">Gon\u00e7alo Ramos on Milan, Ruben Amorim and the future at Benfica<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/borriello-conte-basterebbe-far-tornare\/\">Borriello: Conte wouldn&#039;t be enough to bring Juventus back to the top<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/leghe-serie-legapro-lnd-discutono\/\">Serie A, Serie B, LegaPro, and Lnd leagues discuss FIGC presidential candidate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Il caso Mbapp\u00e9-Cina continua nonostante le scuse: boicottaggio di sponsor e Liga persiste, evidenziando frizioni sportive e commerciali con Pechino.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":123163,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sb_editor_width":"","h5ap_radio_sources":[],"footnotes":"","_ppma_block_editor_authors":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[85,3708,5283,3767,1310,820],"ppma_author":[30],"class_list":["post-127044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-calcio","tag-calcio","tag-cina","tag-diritti-tv","tag-liga","tag-mbappe","tag-real-madrid"],"relative_dates":{"created":"2 hours ago","modified":"1 hour ago"},"authors":[{"term_id":30,"user_id":1,"is_guest":0,"slug":"paolopicone","display_name":"Redazione Centrale","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/54de8379a15a6539d41f5cd43c1b6fc220d10161ae5fefcd739b4111632a6a1a?s=96&d=mm&r=g","first_name":"Redazione","last_name":"Centrale","avatar_alt":"","avatar_decorative":"","user_url":"https:\/\/primasport.eu","author_category":"0","description":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127044"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":127047,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127044\/revisions\/127047"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127044"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=127044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
