    Embarrassing for China. Some soccer player doesn’t know his Chinese history and didn’t know who Mao is. Get over it, you’re fucking China, the 800 pound gorilla on the international stage; start acting like it instead of throwing a temper tantrum like a petulant child

    Mbappé had reportedly told French talk show The Bridge the meme “that makes me laugh the most, it’s the one where there’s a video of a guy, I think it’s a Chinese dictator…” He then laughs as the clip cuts to a meme showing his face superimposed on an image resembling Mao.

      Thats the problem tho, western curriculum has ridiculed people like mao, lenin, stalin, castro, Ho chi minh, etc disproportionately and outrage over stuff like this brings fact forward. Mbappe had to apologize and people are now discussing who mao really was.

          Why do westerners want their political system to be implemented in countries who were ravaged by them? Why do you want to imperially exploit China like you currently do with India and other african countries?

            It’s comments like this that just make me realize how unserious and incapable of self-reflection you “anti-west” people are.

            Are you seriously under the impression that russia and china are not pillaging and exploiting Africa at a scale greater than “the west”? Who is exploiting china? They have enjoyed >$32T trade imbalance with the united states alone since the opening of trade between those countries, they don’t respect IP law, they don’t respect fair trade, they don’t respect EEZs, they oppress media and public dissent, and the list goes on and on.

            The countries you simp for are not even communist. They’re authoritarian dictatorships and it’s gross you’re pretending they’re anything but trash.

              I neither support modern china (it is revisionist) nor russia (it is liberal bourgeosie state), good luck with your assumptions tho.

              I am an anti revisionist marxist leninist and I think China is doing alot of heinous shit right now.

                I mean, yeah, except your post history clearly disproves that.

                You support repressive fascist regimes under the guise of calling out the west.

                I’m fine with communism or socialism. Not murderous and thieving regimes.

                  You are fine with people resisting western imperialism, until they really do that.
