Begun, the basketball war has
Who could have imagined that a tweet from a basketball executive would be
the flashpoint in a decoupling of the US and China.
Here is the crux of the issue: China prioritizes social cohesion above free
speech. The US system prioritizes profits.
That creates an impossible axis. When Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted
an image about standing with Hong Kong it exposed the fault line.
This is the barometer of decoupling
Morey has a right to free speech and to express his opinion. It happens to
be an opinion that's popular in the United States.
However it's a dangerous opinion in China and has kicked off a firestorm,
including boycotts of the team and the cancellation of pre-season games.
The problem for China is that NBA basketball is popular so cutting off the
domestic market is a risk. Or maybe not, according to the editor of the
Global Times:
Yoda basketball
On the US side, you have a tremendous amount of money at stake. For the NBA,
China is its second largest market and losing that would deplete a major
source of revenue.
However if they kowtow, they risk a backlash at home. The NBA first tried to
put the genie back in the bottle by calling Morey's tweet "regrettable"
that it had "deeply offended many of our friends and fans in China." The
Chinese statement was altered to call the comment "inappropriate". That
angered US fans and now the company has put out a second statement which
swung back the other way:
"The NBA will not put itself in a position of regulating what players,
employees and team owners say or will not say on these issues," it said.
Ultimately, they are being put in a situation where they have to take sides.
This problem is going to come up again and again. NBA players have a right
to say what they want and some of them will surely push the envelop.
Eventually, all companies operating in both countries will be put in a
situation where they have to take sides. At that point, it becomes a
question of who is more willing to compromise its beliefs. Will US
businesses censor employees or self-censor in order to maintain profits? Or
will China give in because the domestic population wants US products?
I doubt we will get the answer until it gets worse. But eventually,
companies will be forced to take the US side on economics alone. At that
point, a true decoupling is underway and all the profits that American
companies have reaped from China will evaporate. | c****o

The slimy gay *** adam silver wants us to believe that the nba respects free
speech.
Lies, whoever talks about the violence or crime rates from black or
immigrants will be chastised, same goes with defending a local white
community (= white supremacism), criticizing immigration or islam, etc etc
the list is long.
And I'm not even talking about the white guy banned from entering the Utah
Jazz arena because he just adressed a black player which is considered
racist.
The nba even went as far as to cancel an all star game a few years back,
because people from the city voted in majority against gay wedding in a
local referendum.
In other words not only the nba doesn't respect free speech, they don't even
respect democracy (if there is one).
The only speach that they accept are anti-white, or aligned with the
geopolitical views of the juden press (anti-russia, anti-china, etc etc).
Now the moron who wrote the tweet is supposed to be the general mgr in
charge of basketball operations, not a political activist.
For sure he doesn't know the story about China, Hong Kong, the opium wars,
tax heaven, 1997 retrocession, 2047 law, etc etc.
He didn't even know that China was the #1 market for jersey sales and son.
What a complete idiot who made such a fool of himself.
If someone wants to fight against communism, better start with their own
country ! | S***s

美国公司还有别的各种场合不能触碰的话题多了，但中国的主权绝对不在其中而已
想挣中国的钱还想不约束自己的言行做到起码的对客户的尊重，以为自己是神啊？
这么最简单基本的道理都没搞清楚吗？
还自大的认为自己的商业文化天下第一？被意识形态和偏见烧坏脑子了怎么MAGA啊？
