Cruz to NBA: Don't pander to China's brutal Communist Party, stand up for US free speechJackie Robinson did more than take first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. As Americans across the country tuned into their favorite pastime, Robinson took a stand for freedom. His bravery, courage and tremendous natural talent allowed him to pave the way for a cultural revolution and the integration of all Americans, regardless of color or creed.
To recap, this all started with a single tweet from Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, who signaled support for peaceful, pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong. This one tweet was enough to send the Chinese Communist Party into a tailspin. Out of fear of losing its five-year, $1.5 billion broadcasting contract with Tencent, a tool of the Chinese government, the NBA and its athletes backpedaled and began profusely apologizing.Ritchie B.
In Tapei, President Tsai Ing-wen, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu and I discussed how China works overtime to isolate Taiwan and undercut its autonomy. I am a proud cosponsor of the bipartisan TAIPEI Act, which underscores America’s support for the people of Taiwan and commits to standing against China’s efforts to undermine Taiwan. As China’s threats intensify, the United States must stand unflinchingly with the people of Taiwan.I've fought China's slow-motion genocide of Uighur Muslims.
For too long, China has been allowed to carry out its tyrannical actions in the dark of night. The Chinese Communist Party has used coercion and blackmail to buy silence not just from the NBA, which receives billions of dollars from the country, but also from industry empires like Apple, Google and Nike.Rockets' Daryl Morey should resign to preserve the NBA’s revenue, investments and goodwill
