总台体育青少中心发言人：不认可皇马的表态

Regarding Spanish media reports of Real Madrid's response to Kylian Mbappé's negative remarks concerning China, a spokesperson for China Media Group's Sports and Youth Programming Center issued the following response:

针对西班牙媒体报道西甲皇马俱乐部就姆巴佩涉华负面言论的表态，中国中央广播电视总台体育青少中心发言人回复如下：

We have taken note of Real Madrid's public statement. Yesterday and today, the president of La Liga and other relevant parties have repeatedly sent letters to China Media Group expressing public apologies. We believe that Mbappé's outrageous remarks have already caused harm to the Chinese people, crossed a red line, and gone beyond the bounds of freedom of speech. Mbappé is a Real Madrid player, and the club cannot shirk responsibility. Therefore, we do not accept Real Madrid's insistence that Mbappé 'never intended to offend anyone and, at the same time, maintains that players have the right to express their personal views.' We reject Real Madrid's position.

我们已经注意到了皇马的公开表态。昨天和今天，西甲联盟主席等相关方已经多次给总台发函表示公开道歉。我们认为，姆巴佩的出格言论已经造成了对中国人民的伤害，触犯了底线，也超出言论自由的范畴。姆巴佩本人是皇马球员，皇马俱乐部难辞其咎。故此，我们不认可皇马方面坚持认为的姆巴佩“从未有意冒犯、同时主张球员有权表达个人主张”的解释，不接受皇马这样的态度。

As for Real Madrid's claim that 'the club's cooperative relationships with Chinese sponsors remain unchanged,' we will not attempt to determine whether this is true or false. However, we reiterate that words and actions that hurt the feelings of the Chinese people will naturally encounter collective resistance from all sectors of Chinese society. We hope Real Madrid will not indulge in wishful thinking or daydreams. Until Real Madrid has offered an adequate apology, there is nothing further to discuss.

至于皇马方面声称的“俱乐部与中国赞助商的合作关系没有变化”，我们不予鉴别真伪，但我们重申，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，希望皇马不要一厢情愿做白日梦。在皇马的道歉没有到位之前，一切免谈。
