SHANGHAI - Chinese state media on Wednesday accused the U.S. National Basketball Association of endorsing violence and peddling a “secessionist pipe dream” as a row escalates over comments by a leading team official in support of protests in Hong Kong.
The NBA initially described the anger over the message as “regrettable”, but Commissioner Adam Silver told a news conference in Japan on Tuesday that it was not up to the NBA to regulate what players, employees and team owners said. The protests were “a bid to liberate the city” and “a secessionist pipe-dream” peddled by demonstrators “to justify their summer hooliganism”, it added.
