This is just totally wrong. The post stands as true and every point is easily verifiable. I don't have the patience for this crap today, but I will an example for the first one.
An NBA team manager office guy tweets support Hong Kong and all hell breaks loose.
China hints NBA executive has 'paid the price' for supporting Hong Kong anti-government protesters after he resigned from the Houston Rockets
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...paid-price-supporting-Hong-Kong-protests.html
- Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey announced this week he was stepping down
- He infuriated Beijing last year with a tweet that backed Hong Kong protesters
- China's state broadcaster suggested that Morey 'paid the price' for his words
- A spokesperson also used a Chinese phrase equivalent to RIP to 'wish him well'
Unless, youre claiming that the NBA wasn’t under the control of China until after they had to retract that tweet, then you’ve proven my point. China doesn’t control the NBA. The just wants to remain able to make money in the country.
Using your logic, since China is the nation with the third most McD’s in the world, then they must be under our control also.
