法国球员姆巴佩就不当言论向中国人民和全球华人社区道歉：外交部发言人称中方重视其道歉
法国足球运动员基利安·姆巴佩10月27日发表声明，就其发表的涉及中国的不当言论，向中国人民以及世界各地的华人社区道歉。10月28日，中国外交部发言人郭嘉昆在例行记者会上应询表示，我们重视当事人作出的道歉。
据美联社报道，一段据称记录姆巴佩参加法国网络访谈节目《The Bridge》的视频近日在社交平台流传，视频中他谈及一幅将他的面孔合成到中国领导人毛泽东形象上的网络图片时，称画面中人物是「某个家伙，我想他是个中国的独裁者」，在中国社交媒体上引发批评。姆巴佩在声明中说：「我的言论欠考虑，我现在明白这些话伤害了中国和世界各地华人社区的许多人。我向所有被我的言论冒犯的人道歉。这绝不是我的本意。我对中国人民及其历史怀有深深的敬意，我真诚地道歉。」
美联社报道称，东鹏饮料、蒙牛和妙可蓝多三家中国企业10月27日相继宣布终止与姆巴佩的合作协议，三家公司均表示反对任何伤害民族感情的言行。
在10月27日的外交部例行记者会上，郭嘉昆曾就姆巴佩遭中国企业解约一事应询表示，我们注意到有关报道，伤害中国人民感情的言行自然会遭到中国社会各界的共同抵制。
Mbappé Apologises to the Chinese People and Chinese Communities Worldwide over His Remarks; China Says It Values the Apology
French footballer Kylian Mbappé issued a statement on October 27 apologising to the Chinese people and to Chinese communities around the world for remarks he had made about China. Asked about the apology at the regular press conference on October 28, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said that China values the apology made by the person concerned.
According to the Associated Press, a clip said to show Mbappé appearing on the French online talk show The Bridge circulated on social media, in which he joked about an internet meme that superimposed his face onto an image of Mao Zedong, the founding leader of the People's Republic of China, describing the figure as 'some guy, I think he was a Chinese dictator,' drawing criticism in China. In his statement, Mbappé said: 'My comment was ill-judged, and I now understand that it hurt many people in China and in Chinese communities around the world. I apologise to everyone my words have upset. This was absolutely not my intention. I have deep respect for the Chinese people and their history, and I am sincerely sorry.'
The AP reported that three Chinese companies — beverage maker Dongpeng, dairy giant Mengniu and cheese maker Milkground — announced on October 27 that they were ending their agreements with Mbappé, each stating that they oppose any words and actions that hurt national sentiment.
At the October 27 press conference, Guo had already commented on the termination of Mbappé's endorsement deals, saying that China had noted the relevant reports and that words and actions that hurt the feelings of the Chinese people would naturally be met with common rejection from all sectors of Chinese society.
