"According to Taiwan-based website F-1 Auto Racing, China’s Wan Heping is currently the vice president of sports for the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, so Le Mans’ decision on the flag is based on pressure from Beijing. It may be. The car, which is the governing body for many auto racing events, including Le Mans. China considers Taiwan as part of its territory. Meanwhile, China’s Tencent broadcast team has announced that it will not broadcast Le Mans race this year, for no reason."
As far I've read also on other forums tencent basically told ACO they would not broadcast the race on china because it would had been counterproductive for a CCP tied broadcast to show a national taiwan flagged car to their brainwashed population... ACO searched for a last minute mediation with tencent, then the pressure directly from chinese FIA representative made the rest...
ACO forced hubauto to remove national flag for the race but tencent didn't broadcast the race anyway. Double cowardice, double shame.
