SHANGHAI - The National Basketball Association has severed ties to a training center in China's western Xinjiang region, where Beijing faces growing international condemnation over its treatment of minorities.
Signed by NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum, it was sent in response to questions raised by Blackburn about NBA involvement in Xinjiang, described by the senator as "one of the world's worst humanitarian zones". More than one million ethnic Uighurs and other minorities, mostly Muslim Turkic peoples, have been herded into Xinjiang internment camps where they undergo political indoctrination, according to human rights groups and experts.
The comments infuriated the Chinese government and basketball fans and caused state broadcaster CCTV to stop showing matches.
