You should just bail on the MSB until the season kicks off fr


A couple of weeks of cool down would get you back no cap

You get mad about a US company made in China while living and using products mostly made by US companies who do business in China and apologize and kowtow to China constantly. So why YOUR selective outrage while complaining about selective outrage?

Just curious...

Has the NBA brass finished fellating China yet?

I mean, they handed them the towel to wipe off with, right?

This thread shows so many American people do not know what is going on in the world.

Most of the world population are on the Chinese side. They think it is a riot. US is minority. Only 400 Millions people.

Even the five eyes countries not condemn China as they usually side with US. Look at Europe, Germany, France and other countries just do the lip services.nobody cares.

The American people illusions stem from the big English medias. Not many American spend time reading newspaper from Singapore, Malaysia etc.

All of these big English medias are from those limited number of Countries.

Take look at this image. See the trends.image what will happen in another 10 years. Do those courtries want to damage their relationship with China? Now you understand now why only a few countries speak out.

Because your point wasn't about my opinion on those companies, but my usage of products. As I said, if you're going to use such a cheap deflection as, 'Just don't use anything made in China,' I will obviously reply with that simply isn't practical due to how the US has tied itself so tightly with them in trade. My opinion of the companies who suck China's dick? frick em all, but asking someone to just check every single little thing to make sure it isn't made in China is absolutely absurd and a weak position.

That is a position best handled at the ballot box by voting for those who would restrict trade with China due to their ridiculous human right abuse. That is the only thing that would make progress towards decoupling the US market to Chinese trade aside from boycotting companies for sucking China's dick that is, and even that is limited in practicality as I mentioned.

Yes. I worked in a high-tech company. Most of my peers are from other countries. A lot of my co-workers are speaking poor English. If you step into most high tech companies, you will find out majority of the engineers are from outside US.

My pay is average in high-cost living California. But I am happy. I love US. But at the same time, we should open our eyes to see what other people around the global are thinking.

US used to be the world. Not any more.

The US leads in every meaningful category in the civilized world.

We aren't going to start kissing China's arse, despite what the rest of the "world" thinks.

Good luck on your quest for citizenship. Our borders are always open to contributing, productive people.

I heard Chinese is asking Morey be fired. Silver does not want to do it because the pressure in US.

Chinese people love NBA. The companies are making good money teaming up with NBA. They do not want to lose it.

Too bad Morey started the whole thing. The best thing can happen is Morey resign Voluntarily and get paid nicely. If that happens Morey's NBA carrier may come to an end.

I still can not understand why Morey did it. Not sure if he can point out where Hongkong is if given a blank map.

You don't understand why a guy decided to make a very simple tweet of support for HK protesters when they're being actively oppressed by some incredibly fricked up shite?
Honk.
