Wang zhizhi represents everthing that is wrong with China

Disobeying a 'promise' from China?


Somehow, that doesn't make my list.


Many of these 'promises' aren't voluntary.

 

I sustain Wang.

 

I think he should honor his contract with the CBA, if he signed it he should honor it.

However, Wang is his own man, and he can do what he wants, he is in a Free country now.

By the way, if Wang is supposed to honor his contracts, then why can't china uphold our copyright laws concerning Movies and Video games?

Does anyone know how the US would support Wang if he defected? Would he be allowed to stay here and keep all his salary from here on out? I don't blame him for doing so if he has the chance. I wouldn't want to be shelling out half of my millions to my government. Besides, if he goes back now they'll probably never let him come back.

 

**** china and their bull****... look at ming, you can't even get out of the country w/o signing a contract guaranteeing you'll suck their dick for the rest of your life, so no, it's not "enough said"... and just because he signed something when he was fourteen doesn't mean ****... i have no doubt in my mind there were mitigating circumstances, and if there weren't? he quit / renegged on a promise, whatever... nicely done zhizhi, telling them to, in effect, suck your "wang".

 

Wang broke his promise of going back before Yao was released to come over. The Chinese government agency has been quite open minded and supportive towards both Wang and Yao. They are sending two coaches over to see Wang and hopefully bring him back. The most they can do is to fire Wang out of the stinking national team had he refuses to go back. As to who's right or wrong in this matter, I tend to think a word is a word for a man.

 

Rude words...
You don't know China at all!

 

Dude, it wasn't China that socked to Yao. It was the CBA and the Sharks. Its the same as the music industry over here. Nothing different. Yao got into a bad contract and has to pay alot of money to get out of it just like TLC. People are the same in every country. Greedy and power hungry.

 

I do hope that Wang will go back to China to join his national team training after the Southen California Summer League.

 

I just realized something. If you lower you maturity level (easily done with lack of sleep) its still hilarious to read "Wang" Zhizhi posts.

 

Once they join the World Trade Organization, it'll be easier to enforce trademarked and intellectual property.

kubli9,
The real question would be whether the NBA would support Wang's defection. Getting Yao to play here was the Rocket's equivalent of pulling teeth without painkillers. Imagine how hard it would be for future generations of Chinese players to play in the NBA. And on a broader scale the NBA, like all the other American coorporations, are licking their chops at the massive marketing potential in China. A defection, even if the NBA shows total disapproval of it would make China wary.

Wang defecting would be a b**** for the NBA mostly while the State Department might also have hurdles to jump over...

 

I don't see what copyright infringements have to do with this. If pirates in China don't respect copyright laws than Wang doesn't have to honor his contract?

Wang may be in a free country (though I think the name needs some qualification), but he is here only by the grace of the Chinese and American governments. He's not a citizen. He's not even a permanent resident. He is a citizen and a solider of China and subject to their authority. Is an American soldier afforded the luxury of saying, "no thanks," when given an order?

As I've said before, I think he's a total punk for disobeying the recall. I was a fan of his but won't be from now on. Nor will I shed a tear if they drag him back to China and never let him out again.

Btw, kubli, if you made millions in salary in the US, you woul shell out almost half to the government in taxes.

 

If you make over a million dollars a year. . you shelling out a hell of a lot of it to your government
