Learn to deduce. lol.




Now ask Central America, the Caribbean(especially Haiti) and South America how they feel about American meddling. I can go on.


lol!


And America doesn't do the same?:dwillhuh::heh: Like I said a bunch of "wah! wah! The Chinaman is getting too powerful what do we do Uncle Sam!?:damn:" shyt... Like I said yall expected China to be contained to just China? The Chinese clearly wants the pacific ocean as their Caribbean similar to the USA.







lol....






You mean that Vice video? Yes, I already seen it and there was no concrete evidence for 1 million Uighurs being locked up. No UN report. Are Uighurs getting locked up? Of course. 1 million? I need to see some solid primary sources.






Yes its a sad fact YET you's are acting like its only China which is my main point.:heh: Like WTF?


Not necessarily defending China but pointing out USA hypcrisy and your covert defending of USA hegemony like Napoleon.









Cool.





By who? By people who are scared of USA being challenged while ignoring the many examples of USA's oppressing domestically and internationally? Cool.:yeshrug:



You are just a domino row of straw hat arguments, very questionable news sources and dumb nikka logic :dead:

China doesn't care. This is a pure power move. They're saying "you criticize us, OK, then fukk your business with us".

All these dictatorships hate to look weak because it is what actually makes them vulnerable and less feared by own people.

What do you mean "they don't care"? They don't care about a disgruntled population and potential revolution? That's almost certainly their #1 concern. There are only two reasons they've let the NBA have such a big presence in China at all - to fill their pockets and to pacify the population. And that second reason might actually be bigger than the first.

Kicking a sports league out of the country doesn't make China look strong. It makes them look petty. And you're right, they're frightened to back down but they're also frightened that the NBA will leave. Both options are L's for them. From the beginning they really thought the NBA would back down and punish/condemn Morey, and it came damn close to happening, but once Silver grew a spine the Chinese were shook.

I think some of y'all overestimate how much power China has. Countries who are gripping really, really tightly to control their entire population tend to do so because they're terrified that if they let up they'll lose everything. China's greatest fear is a disgruntled population loses faith in the government to maintain their standard of living and fuels separatist movements that buzz around almost every border province in the country. Take away the NBA and you're one step closer to disgruntled. shyt like this has happened in history with governments even more brutal than the Chinese.

This shyt can only end one way, bad. Politicians on both sides are bipartisan on this in America and China is as well. The NBA is the US biggest export to China other than Hollywood movies. This will only get worse not better if China and the US continue this beef over tweeter fingers

Eh black market streams, buying rerocc gear, not “publicly” (as public as that country can be I guess) supporting the league on social media, all of these things do nothing for the NBA. One side will get their fix the other won’t

The NBA would still profit off of a black market not as much as they should if there was no black market but they are the content providers. So china going to put in laws to stop people from wearing jerseys and ball caps. It's simple economics!

Tilman needs to dock morets pay.

You dont wade into international politics this ignorantly. Half americans are too stupid to even understand the nuance of the HK situation. It isnt a chinese takeover issue but to expect the average american to do research and not parrot us govt propaganda talking points is too much
