    Are you even debating in good faith here?

    No one is remotely implying any sort of armed conflict. We don't have to cater towards Chinese interests economically. Why would we? Why enable the Chinese government to displace 2 million humans to re-education camps because of their ethnicity?

    You were talking about Trump weren't you?

    Let's just put it to rest, it doesn't matter really.

    You can't vote them out that easily.

    It's a misunderstanding if otherwise.

    The Rockets shouldn't take harm because of this. Morey should be held responsible, simple as that.

    Yes we can vote them out easily. We have elections every 4 years. At worst he stays 8 years. We don't have unlimited term limits for our president unlike the country you are defending.

    Then inform yourself, they dun have unlimited time. Xi could also be a puppet, that is a discussion for another time.
    Probably 10 to 12 years (estimation). They extended his tenure.

    4-8 years isn't a trifle either.

    Sorry, I am out, I am not going to delve deeper into his. Feel free to use D&D.

    They didn't just extend his tenure. He literally just successfully passed unlimited term limits last year.

    Honestly you don’t know enough about what you are talking about to have an opinion.

    You may be a pacifist, and if you are, I’m sure you are appalled at 2 million Muslims in China currently being held against their will and also are upset at how Hong Kong is being treated by the CCP.

    Either way, pacifist or not; you don’t know the subject matter well enough to have a valid opinion.

    Morey should trade Chinese fan assets for Slovenians.

    People who are worried Tilman might fire Morey need to calm down.

    China being this huge NBA market is a ****ing myth. They're responsible for <1% of the NBA's total revenue. The leagues makes it money almost entirely within the US. The TV deal is the reason why James Harden is being paid 44 million and not 22.

    TV (and its sponsors), Official (not bootleg) Merch, Attendance. That's where the money comes from.

    Even if the Chinese fans do boycott the Rockets, it's not going to cause a dent.

    Tilman isn't going to risk alienating HOUSTON, and maybe causing a boycott/riot of some sort, to appease China.

    Hell I'll go a step further-- if Steve Kerr were the Rockets coach and he kept saying the political things he says all the time, it'd be A LOT WORSE. I would rather lose a bit of viewership from every other country combined than risk White Americans boycotting my product.

    Should I continue to post additional videos? Or, I’m sure it’s just ..... fake, right?
