You guys realize most asians are poor as fuck...Right?
We're not Canada the Chinese cannot buy us. Just like the Russians can't buy us
Their cash reserves are in USD...lol
Don't confuse what you see in some little shit holes for what happens in the US. Do the chinese have a presence here? Yes
We have a much bigger presence in literally every country on the planet outside China than they do. Our brands and propaganda dominate the planet and you're worried about some little confucian schools like they bought us all? Hah
A few of us maybe. Beyond that get real people.
China has already bought LA. Hollywood to be more precise.
They didn't have to buy hollywood, couldn't afford it anyway. If they could they'd make good Chinese movies constantly. They do not
Hollywood caved to them because tehy have a massive consumer market
Just like the NBA caved because they have a massive consumer market and little chinese kids are taught basketball in their elite schools. That is one of their go to team sports. Maybe their most popular one IDK.
That's just capitalsim at work. They're responding the the market incentives no one had to buy ....You don't like capitalism? Shoulda kept the CHinese poor which also is anti free trade. You need to look at your own belief system not whine about the NBA and hollywood responding to the mess our pro market policy made. Should have cut them off the moment the USSR fell.
They're just being good corporate citizens with a fiduciary responsibility to their investors.
California and Hollywood, of course, caved to them only for one reason, and one reason only. MONEY.
Shame on them. Total scum.
Yea they have a literal fiduciary* responsibility to do that
Basic underpinning of trusting some one in business
The problem is we let them get rich and made the NBA and Hollywood have to make this chioce. The problem is not Hollywood or the NBA. It was Henry Kissinger, Nixon, and the rest of our absurdly naive neo liberal elites who didn't understand the issues that raising such a large nation out of poverty woudl bring. I can only blame their racism because if China was full of white people they would have had the respect to say "maybe arming the billion whites isn't a great idea for us in the long run". That's more people than Europe, which we have fought two obscenely bloody wars to prevent unifying.
But because we have some delusions about markets and how the chinese are fundamentally different from us here we are.
Again the problem is in our economic and foreign policy. The NBA and Hollywood are jsut symptoms of our elites fuck ups.
Blaming the NBA after Bush Sr and Nixon are the ones who did this makes you sound very ignorant of what is going on here. (nixon started the relationship, bush sr should have ended it when the USSR fell)
Theres no problem with China being full of non-whites, The problems are not with Chinese people but the Communist Chinese government who are masters at political warfare. They have owned many of our politicians for years. It's the games they play that make them dangerous when our senators dont have the backbone to not be corrupted or influenced by them. They play chess while our leaders play checkers and are consumed by our own infighting.
