zisstbear Totally! It’s just the beginning antichinazi OhSorryCCP sorrynotsorry FreeHongKong

basically it’s a choice between upholding universal values and kowtowing to RMB

This is CCP infiltration. Companies self-censor to please CCP for money, but give up their freedom at the same time. Airlines, gadgets, games etc This is not the 1st one, and it will NOT be the last. Watch your freedom. StandWithHongKong FreeHongKong antitotalitarianism

wcheck08 The FreedomOfSpeech & Right to Know are part of their contracts with China? R they taking away the core values from the Americans and the world? Wondering how they could compensate the loss of those values which r the foundations of the Free world. StandWithHongKong & Uyghurs

Yes. It’s a choice :freedom vs totalitarian, righteousness vs money, dignity vs spineless ....

We simply should notice which is more important in life. FreeHongKong antitotalitarianism

it is now a test for the globe to check how much they could sell themselves for RMB. StandwithHK

There’s nothing tricky about standing up for humans beings yearning to be free without regard to the costs to oneself, as opposed to politicians and corporations who grovel at China’s feet for profit at the expense of others yearning for freedom. janehopper standwithhongkong

The damage is done (to China); that just doesn’t pay off kowtowing. What most American don’t realise is; money you make from China, when time comes, will be taken back (robbed) by CCP. Even the legendary businessman Jack Ma doesn’t survive this state-backed robbery. Wake up!

Follow CCP rules. If not, don’t do business with CCP

Political censorship is coming to everywhere. If you wanna do business and gain money from China, never talk anything about “human right”, “freedom”, “democracy”.

This is buying yr freedom with money freedomofspeech

Dignity or money? That’s the question. OhSorryCCP FightForFreedom

CCP is using the money to trade the world core values. This is the first step of control the world. antichinazi StandWithHongKong HongKong FreedomOfSpeech

To a normal responsible person who respect other cultures, it is not difficult at all. To those idiots who know nothing and like to point finger to others, stay at home as nobody like to hear your bullish!t.

China always think if you do business with them, they are doing you a favor. In exchange you are obligated to help them promote and export the China value.

This should be a question for everyone to think about. No model answer but how you prioritise values in your life. StandWithHongKong

Once upon a time, ancient China were surrounded by barbaric tribes that pay annual tributes to the Chinese Emperor and sent their brightest to learn from China Nowadays, PresidentXi is trying to re-create this legend by bullying company from the US. People, chinazi is a thing

Doing business with CCP = You have their money, they have your thoughts

It is said that 'everyone has their price', but are you willing to sell your soul just for money?

what about the fact that us government put tariffs on Chinese product. HOW tricky it is to trade with the fucking US?

Please dun devalue your brand by kowtowing to Beijing. Look at CathayPacific and Jackma, they got betrayals by CCP at last even they all show loyalty to China. Furthermore, you will lose the local markets once you betray liberty. Not a wise choice to do so.

The cost of China money is moral and universal value which build your country Is it worthy ? antichinazi antitotalitarianism

Gotta thank China for unveiling its great censorship machine that would've taken the free world a much longer time to discover.

Is there any foreign business who has sufficient knowledge abt the ever expanding / changing CCP rulebook? Did Morey deliberately try to piss off CCP? Will OhSorryCCP be enough every time? No 1 can reason with a Totalitarian regime, no 1 should antitotalitarianism FreeHK

Free speech to China is a joke! FreeHongKong

It's not rocket science. Freedom of speech is just a bad excuse. The Chinese don't comment on the human rights & internal social mayhem in the US. Not does it support or encourage civil rights & anti-govt groups to protest and riot violently on streets in US cities. We shouldn't

Western values is collapsing now, most people had waken up. It's the chance whites should learn respecting other people. Especially do business in their countries. If else.....

Not so tricky, just learn to respect

Some values must be sacrificed if you wanna work in the Chinese market. OhSorryCCP

That is freedom or money: which is more important for us? At least developed nations are enough rich not to beg money for others.

I'm curious how much public bond and tax dollars are used to build stadiums where NBA games are played. The NBA is quick to remove anti-China signs in public venues.

Not that tricky if you obey this fundamental rule

FYI Chinese firms were not forced to cut business ties with American firms. They did it cuz our fakenews media are portraying rioters who are terrorizing hongkong as freedom fighters. standwithhk democracy standwithhongkong HKprotests CBSNews RamyInocencio SusanLiTV

I’m done watching the NBA. I’m disappointed but not surprised.

It's something like 'let's ignore the Jewish people so we can earn more money from the Third Reich market'. Sounds crazy? But it is what the world is doing now, keel to ccp regime dictatorship and China State Terrorism against humanity.

NBA has freedom of speech..just bad timing

Just do whatever ccp regime told you, give up your freedoms and rights. Or leave. StopChinazi

The NBA & Apple should learn from the Muslim world. Stay silent & do absolutely nothing.

Support freedom? Not hard.

At least south park had the balls to say fk china
