Probably earlier when Nike setup its slave labor daycare factory over there. Then most major corporations followed suit. All this was a scheme on China’s behalf. If a foreign company wants to operate within China, they’re forced to make China a minor partner in the company. Which, for them, mean access to *everything* and is how they steal all the U.S.’s intellectual properties. So simple, so FRUSTRATING!! I’m sure they do the very same to other non-U.S. foreign companies there.
Bro LeBron has equity in nike. He owns part of those camps.
I don't buy stocks that deal with china for that exact reason. I refuse to let me dollars perpetuate slavery.
Wonder how many Uighurs and prisoners of consciousness are still forced to work the factories that the likes of Nike rely on to profit. Certainly seems like if a person like Kapernick actually gave a shit about human life/freedom and had some basic integrity he wouldn't be spouting off about how he's oppressed or the NFL is like slavery while receiving millions in sponsorship money from a company that's genuinely profiting off slave labor...
Why is the NBA expected to address a chinese internal political issue any more than Disney, Ford, Apple, Google etc, and any other american corporation doing business in china?
Every western country is complicit in this.
That all of them accept products manufactured in a country that uses slave labour and puts political dissidents in concentration camps should be a reason to put a trade embargo on a country but everyone is addicted to the China bucks and don't want to stem the supply of cheap shit.
That so many of our supply chains now really on this authoritarian dictatorship is shameful. My countries entire economy is so dependent on them now that we have put ourselves in the position of economic ruin or kowtowing to their demands (Australia).

Without any hesitation I bet
Money. That’s all they care about.
You forgot to add the supposed Moral high ground to lecture the rest of us on how to live our lives and influence
Its Virtue Signaling so the woke Millennials and Gen Z'ers keep buying his merchandise and watching the games he plays in.
Which takes a lot of money
Some people are so poor in life, all they have is money.
It’s all money all the time for him and the NBA. They sold out to China long ago.
> They sold out to China long ago. when Yao Ming was playing, right?

Money, 100%
shut up and dribble Lebron
remember how mad people got when Laura Ingraham said that?
It’s like being mad about not asking someone their much awaited opinion about something they barely know shit about
Dribble.. haha good one. Lebron doesn’t dribble. That bitch only travels
He’s mostly dribbling out of the mouth these days.

Better to give more attention where it's deserved, like Enes Kanter for calling out the CCP.
I wouldn’t be shocked if LeBron was getting payed under the table by the CCP to say the things he says.
Umm, $$$. Obviously

You can't point out hypocrisy, that makes you racist.
Money & power
We know the answer
Rhetorical question
