Seems like South Park is handling it better than the NBA is...

Is giving China the middle finger considered a method of “handling” it?

I'm in favor of just cutting ties with China completely. They are not nice people. Why entertain them?

😂

The examples listed in the news spread one message: “Money or freedom? Your choice!” This is CCP way to rule the world. If all of us are not brave to overcome this, we will get into a silent world with all praises to China. Don’t let the tyranny win our world please.

if these companies and people are gonna support such oppression of people then we shouldn't support them anymore

Do some better work ! This is a pathetic, misleading headline (and story). Their statement concerning China was a blatantly sarcastic one and they're quite the opposite of swept up. Be better.

Embargo

The downside of Chinese investment is becoming very clear.

i have some very bad news for you guys about the us military

Is it really getting swept into it when South Park gives zero f’s about China and their response? 🤔

This is a business move can you all stop being so damn stupid?!

You Either Stand with Democracy or you Stand Against US

South Park don’t give a S/t and slayed back at China. And rightly so. They won’t bow down to the yen!

American companies need to be be either banned from doing business with china, or required to proactively push back against china if it infringes on human rights of face sanctions.

they censured kenny
