It seems really random that the Chinese are so into NBA. What next, Greeks being really into American gangsta rap music?
The distribution of American cultural exports is far reaching.
Gangsta rap came to Greece in 1997... [0]

Which is why millionaire players and coaches are absolutely mute (or are muted) on any China issue, or claim that the issue is complicated .

Because the PRC will cut them off if they allow this, and the USA won't if they don't. And, so, serving the interest of capital says “knuckle under to the PRC”.
This is also why Hollywood movie studios do the same thing, and all kinds of other industries.
A neoliberal international order where major players are totalitarian corporatist states is a disaster for liberty, even beyond the ways a neoliberal international order is with all “democratic” capitalist participants.

For BLM, during the height of the corona crisis, hundreds of thousands went on demonstrations, 99% white.
The media does a good job of pushing the correct narratives.

Amazon isn't the one importing counterfeit items in.
No, they are "only" storing and delivering them.
