Human Rights Watch: Chinese Internet Teeming with Anti-Black Racism
Human Rights Watch denounced China for censoring anti-communist content online while allowing "pervasive hate speech against black people."

Some pretty awful stuff such as:
Yet the (CHINESE) government did nothing to censor videos of young African children repeating offensive statements in Mandarin, apparently without knowledge of what they meant, for the entertainment of Weibo users. In a 2022 exposé, the BBC exposed an industry of Chinese social media creators in Malawi, who abused local children and forced them to record videos repeating phrases such as “I am a black monster and I have a low IQ” or “yellow skin and dark eye are the most beautiful color.” According to the BBC, Chinese nationals paid the content creators for custom-made videos of the children, later shared on Weibo pages with names such as “Jokes About Black People Club.”
So I wonder if Adam Silver and his NBA will speak out about this kind of stuff or do the NBA more interested in harvesting NBA viewer dollars in China?
Revenue to the NBA from exposure in China is from sources known publicly about half a billion dollars. Additionally, NBA owners have a combined $10 billion of investments in the country.
My bet is that the reaction will be nothing nothing more than a collective shrug from the NBA and ownership.
