    That's not up to China to decide.

    Kick rocks.

    The Lakers and Nets should reconsider flying out there in the first place.

    NBA should tell the teams to head back to the USA and cancel all games in China.

    Interesting wrinkle in all of this is how socioeconomically woke Bron is. How will Bron/Nike respond to this?

    The Chinese government can go to hell. Like they would even know what freedom of speech is. I’m actually kind of glad Morey said something “dumb”, brings a spotlight to the actual issues here and not just money matters.

    Just bring our guys home. They are in the middle of a stand-off that could go poorly.

    Good luck with that. That's nearly impossible at this point.

    Yeah but just an attempt would hurt them tremendously.

    Good point in this article. Morey kind of screwed up, his boss had a lot riding on this relationship and this is going to hurt Houston's bottom line. Gotta get that out of the way. However China has massively screwed this up. They took a situation that would have likely remained mostly unknown and turned it into a huge social issue with global implications. The responded to a micro-surgical procedure with a giant sledgehammer. They look like idiots and that is all on them. They can say and do whatever they want to their own people, but all the rest of the planet's people think they are one colossal asswipe.

    I am left wondering why they simply did not go directly to the Houston ownership and demand an apology from Morey and ask him to remove the post, then leave it at that?!!??! It would have accomplished the same thing and nobody would be thinking about this now.

    Now, all China gets is people are thinking about what douche bags they are.

    I wondered same—maybe cultural differences? Collectivist cultures might think it natural to extend the boundaries of the group?
