“I think this really shows how China tries to use economic coercion and blackmail to get American companies to engage in censorship.” Here’s why Sen. Ted Cruz says that NBA should have responded differently to the backlash in China.
that he can see why the NBA wants to quell the fervor in China, which is said to have 600 million fans of the league. That's nearly double the entire population of the United States.
The senator criticized the league for initial "abject apologies" after the Morey tweet. "The NBA should be better than that. We should not be willing instrumentalities of Chinese censorship." "It is inevitable that people around the world – including from America and China – will have different viewpoints over different issues. It is not the role of the NBA to adjudicate those differences. However, the NBA will not put itself in a position of regulating what players, employees and team owners say or will not say on these issues. We simply could not operate that way," the statement said.
