Millions of NBA fans who might have been excited or just indifferent about their beloved league's increasing business connections with China, many are now asking whether promoting the game is worth the concessions and kowtowing to Beijing.
Based on what we hear on New York area sports radio that last few days, fans of the Brooklyn Nets are certainly asking that question and also scrutinizing new Nets owner Joe Tsai.Sunday night. Tsai's post is exceedingly disturbing for two reasons.
Second, Tsai descends into the same false argument Beijing often uses when it comes to the Hong Kong protests. The Chinese government likes to focus on the alleged separatist nature of the movement. That's because it makes it sound like a destructive rebellion by an isolated part of the region.
jakejakeny You cannot run a business that supports hurtful things directly to its own customers, the fans. Why is that not clear?
jakejakeny This is just distraction as dealing happens behind the curtains,I can see the shadow of corporate armtwisting going on
jakejakeny
jakejakeny Just look how does USA fight innocent Chinese company! If china clean out some of U.S. company, that's reasonable!
jakejakeny You say that like it's a bad thing..
jakejakeny It is not an outrage culture, it is a purposely guided 'outrage' by the State. They wanted Morey to be fired to make an example out of him but that wasn't gonna happen, so it blew up big. China controls all the media, if they want no outrage, they can censor anything off the net
jakejakeny It would be more appropriate to call them Sino-American Companies instead of American Companies. By being in China for this long the Chinese culture has made them equally or maybe more CORRUPT than the Chinese that it is VERY uncomfortable for them to move back to the US
jakejakeny Trade wars are easy to win?
Sad! Watch out china ccp’s aggression! They suppress all sorts of freedom and humanrights, now even canadian flag! Today’s despair in hongkong will soon be the whole world’s tomorrow when they think money (their economy is very bad actually) can take over all core values.

It's time for the world to realize the dark side of rising China. CCP can take away your human rights and freedom even you are not aware. Hongkongers know very well of the dirty tricks of CCP. That's why we stand at the forefront against tyranny for freedom and democracy.

Totally. Earning money from monster is not free, you need to sell you souls.
Ava63882646 //In fact, they're hoping their democratic fight spreads to the mainland and brings freedom for all Chinese people. It's Beijing that's promoting separatism by refusing to grant democratic rights to anyone, not the Hong Kong protesters.
It truly was a wake up call. We have been sleeping for so long and have chosen not to see the truth. It's time to stand up for what we treasured.

Broken pieces of heart of CCP everywhere 😂
antitotalitarianism
China government is maniac!
No one question about the freedom of speech. However, the intention of the tweet which is coming from a person who is dealing with Chinese connections daily, and most importantly, doing calculations of deals daily, is questionable. Does he ingore the consequences intentionally?
CCP is controlling freedom all around the world. Can you imagine the suppression on freedom in Hong Kong in the future? Please StandWithHongKong . FightForFreedom HongKongProtest

The article says 'millions of Chinese people are fully immersed in the culture of victimhood'. The author seems to forget the trade war. And we just boycott NBA. why you guys are so sensitive.🤣🤣😂
Look at your president doing the same
HongKong is still struggling under heavy-handed suppression. Yesterday Xinjiang. Today Hong Kong. Tmr your home
Sports should not be tied together with politics. If Olympic players said the same thing, what would CCPChina do? Looking forward to seeing what would happen in Tokyo Olympic 2020.
CCP simply wants to apply their own standard to the rest of the world. If other do not comply, CCP uses economic means to force them. The world must wake up and decide which to go for: money vs freedom
Today Hong Kong. Tomorrow the world.
Why not just shut the front door? I mean a completely self-sustained, closed market. If all the things the free society have to offer aren't what they want, if they hate/scare of FreedomOfSpeech that much.
CCP is unbelievably childish . Thanks NBA and other Americans for standing firmly for freedom of speech and democracy.
CCP is a threat to the free world.
Americans & HK hearts connected - fight for freedom ❤️
I support the protesters in Hong Kong

Yup, don't let CCP rule the world. Stand with HK and foght for freedom and democracy!
Can't agree more, they had did much more than our imagine to infiltrate and encroach the free world. Time to wake up!
China had been infiltrating the world for long, please do realise their threat before they control your everyday life, like us in Hong Kong.
You have your system of governance they have their own. What makes you think yours is better. What matters is the strides they've made in devp't. And it's 5times the speed of Western democracy
Let’s stand tgt to fight against chinazi
CCP is trying to threaten the free world. considering the 5G.... the problem may become more serious.
'so much of what was promised to us about China hasn't come true. China's increasing economic engagement with the free countries of the West was supposed to open the country up to more democracy and freedom', there you have it! That's exactly why Hong Kong is fighting so hard!
If solid actions r not taken, our values will be engulfed and will disappear very soon.
Yeah, it's time to wake up!
China exerted their suppressions in any aspects/any countries autocratically or inhumanly. NBA is just an alarm to the world of CCP’s evil behaviours expanded in the past 70 years.
So long as your are praising CCP, you can have the so-called freedom of speech. Wake up world, CCP is infiltrating into your country. Do you see the Chinese merchant billboards around you? Defend your freedom before it is too late!
u want to be nba ?
Stop the world domination by fascist CCP dictatorship!
One question: What if China hold more stake and even own these companies? You can imagine. We can’t stop them to kowtow anymore at that time. Wake up, world. NBA StandwithMorey Blizzard Blizzardboycott
Rockets prove freedom can be wiped out by China with RMB, and censorship is coming to the West. This is a global battle of freedom and Hong Kong is the frontier. The West needs to join the battle snd uphold freedom.
The world should stand against the CCP. Or its totalitarian will spread globally. SayNoToChina StandwithHonKong
It’s never too late to wake up or else u will be under white terror & censorship forever

They will control you bit by bit. Take away your freedom of speech. And this is what Hong Kong and Taiwan facing, now the world too... China never so far from you
CCP want to control the freedom of speech around th world.
China Money is the top priority. Knee before me. Whole World: NO. we stand with freedom, justice, democracy China: what are those~~? Time to have a lecture.
What do their central nervous systems feel like since they are fat?
Americans finally got it!
chonacanpoundrice worldisbetteroffwithoutthem
You just said it! A normal human should realize the fact that communist China is the slavery country ruled by dictator.
It’s a lesson for the US firms: you can’t make money while promoting separatism and expect us to be nice.
SRGUO Opening up didn't make China more democratic. It just made democracies more Chinese.
As correctly noted by the author HK protestors- contrary to Beijing’s spin- are not calling for independence. However re-setting the narrative and bullying anyone whom disagrees and/or holds alternative opinions amounts to Economic terrorism straight from the PRC playbook.
You don’t only want his money but also expect him not to ask for it back.
Stop silence! Stop bullying democracy!
We're at the n'th wake up call already, we just hit the snooze button because there is nothing that can be done.
自作自受
Democracy is unreadable? Not by missiles or nukes, for sure. But may be by money. Communist learned the new trick in new era: money is the most powerful mass destructive weapon that could break the free world easily.
Xi really does look like Winnie the Pooh. 😂😂 southpark
The US media knows too much
Finally you got it
Only Americans behave like the emperor of the world pointing fingers at other countries.
😎👽
The West has set by for a generation and compromised it's values for limited access to Chinese markets. While they have flooded ours. Maybe it time to tell China you can't dictate terms anymore. Maybe the NBA should tell them keep your money. Focus on India and Africa.
You want to make money from communist Chinese, then be prepared to kowtow whenever they demand you to do so. God bless America!
Get Carly off the air! She is a clueless talking head.
Do you see china making comments about how you treat children on the border or any other abhorrent policy that the USA currently employs? Nope. But you guys sure do love flapping about.
To hell with communists.
Translation: “if you protest, you will be cut off.” Hmmm that sounds familiar.
China wants to control FREEDOM OF SPEECH all over the world.
