China’s government has long told other nations not to interfere in its “internal affairs.” But the notion of internal affairs may be changing, thanks to a globalized world with muddier, more virtual borders alongside geographic ones, anthonyted reports.

FILE - In this Oct. 10, 2019 file photo, a child holds up two Chinese national flags as she watches a preseason NBA basketball game between the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers at the Mercedes Benz Arena in Shanghai, China. On Thursday the Chinese government stopped NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the teams from holding news conferences before or after the Lakers-Nets game.

Whether it’s foreign complaints about human rights, disputes over the South China Sea or anything about Taiwan or Xinjiang or Tibet and the Dalai Lama, the answer has been remarkably consistent: These are the internal affairs of China — so keep your nose out of them.A U.S. basketball team’s general manager supporting Hong Kong protesters with a single tweet from the United States? Interference in China’s internal affairs, with major repercussions for the NBA.

Ever since the Opium Wars in the mid-19th century, in which the British forced Qing Dynasty rulers into the opium trade and pried open Chinese ports to Western trade, China’s government has been particularly sensitive to Western doings inside its borders. And in China’s case, watching the farthest reaches of its territory for incursions is a strand of the fundamental, historical DNA.

The country’s very success in some of its leadership’s priorities — being taken seriously on an international stage and wielding influence worldwide — has placed what was once a relatively inward-focused government onto a global platform.
