Let us remember that this storm was triggered by a harmless joke from a football player about a Chinese leader who had been dead for 50 years whose name he did not even know.
This silence is explained for some by ideological complacency, while others remain silent out of economic cowardice, like the French luxury brands which support Mbappé and fear suffering reprisals.
Faced with this situation, the main political leaders in France remain silent, illustrating the great fear that seizes leaders when China is mentioned.
This affair highlights the economic, commercial, diplomatic and political submission of Paris, as well as the West, towards Beijing.

Let us also remember that between famines, purges and massacres, the number of Mao's victims is estimated at between 50 and 80 million, the death toll of a dictator, well, how do we say, an authoritarian leader.
But in France, no reactions from the main political leaders.
