The anchor of Fox News, Tucker Carlson, expressed his opinions on the NBA‘s lack of response to the protests in China over the COVID-19 lockdown. The NBA established a multibillion-dollar opportunity in China, the second-largest economy in the world, through decades of meticulous agreement. By deciding to remain silent on the league’s dispute with China, the players from all over the league are also preserving their reputation.
The NBA has billion-dollar contracts in China now. Both parties have received billions of money, and their four-decade connection has been solid. Millions of Chinese-related business partnerships with NBA players, a friendship with Yao Ming, the president of the Chinese Basketball Association and a crucial goodwill ambassador for the NBA in Asia, are just a few of the many facets of this complex relationship where there are also millions of fans involved.
Shanghai has now been closed down by the Chinese authorities. Indefinite lockdown is being endured by all 25 million individuals, making it the biggest prison camp in history. Because of COVID, entire Chinese cities have been placed under quarantine, and some people have even been starved to death. Reporter Tucker Carlson outlines the situation where Adam Silver and the league keep quiet while China’s COVID crisis worsens.
In today’s Fox news edition, Carlson stated: “The NBA itself makes billions of dollars in China. So, the NBA has no word to say about China throwing its population into concentration camps.” This is a reference to the numerous Muslim prisoners in Chinese forced labor camps who are suffering.
The NBA’s treatment of human rights issues in China
The communist regime of China violates the human rights of its Muslim citizens. Numerous team owners collaborate with companies that the American government has outlawed for encouraging widespread criminal arrests, sophisticated monitoring, and racial profiling.
But in China, barbed-wire camps house over a million Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities where a cultural genocide against them is also being carried out. In addition to locking up tens of thousands of people and sterilizing Muslim women for nonconsensual abortions, they are also destroying mosques and prohibiting all forms of religion, including Ramadan fasting.
Basketball-related income includes its revenue from China, which is conservatively estimated to be $500 million per year based on publicly known arrangements. This revenue has an impact on the salary cap and the amount of money available to players each year.
In order to continue serving as the league’s sole digital partner in China, a five-year, $1.5 billion agreement was negotiated in 2019. Apart from the league’s relationships in China, players have investments there as well.
NBA China, a separate corporate arm of the league, was valued at an astounding $5 billion. A number of them, including athletes Stephen Curry and LeBron James, stop by every year to promote Nike and Under Armour clothing.
