Northern Remember
A few days after the new round of trade negotiations between China and the United States, the representatives of the two countries did not attend the negotiating table, and the camps of the two sides had been tense.US President Trump said that the solution of the Hong Kong issue is linked to the Sino -US trade negotiations. The US Department of Commerce and the State Department then played human rights cards and sanction 28 Chinese institutions and enterprises on Xinjiang topics.However, these official attitudes and pressures are not as eye -catching than that of the United States NBA in China into a tenth -level public opinion storm.
The NBA incident unexpectedly involved a tough confrontation between China and the United States and the correct politics.Under the pressure and public opinion of the political circles of the two countries and the people, it is even more difficult for people to imagine that the representatives of the two sides may also make a compromise required to reach an agreement when facing face -to -face negotiations in Washington.
Mo Lei, the general manager of the NBA Houston Rockets, should never think of it. A short English seven -character Twitter that he suddenly emerged in Tokyo will set off a stormy wave.When the newly established ban on the Hong Kong government took effect, Mo Lei tweeted on October 5th on Saturday, saying that fighting for freedom and standing with Hong Kong, it instantly ignited the anger of Chinese netizens. The Chinese stationed in the Chinese netizens. The Chinese stationed in the Chinese netizens. The Chinese stationed in the Chinese netizen.The Consulate General of Houston proposed on the 6th that CCTV and many Chinese companies had rapidly announced a suspension or suspending cooperation with the Rockets.
This is just the beginning.Two days later, Xiao Hua, president of the United States NBA, voiced his voice to defend Mo Lei's freedom of speech. The incident rapidly expanded and upgraded. Not only the Rockets, the entire NBA was on the bar with China.CCTV and Tencent Sports announced the suspension of the broadcast arrangement of the NBA season preseason; Vivo, Mengniu, Master Kang, etc. Almost all Chinese partners such as NBA have suspended or suspended their cooperation with them.Activity.
In less than a few days before and after, the Chinese market seemed to be bombarded to close the door to the NBA. The American ESPN, which was watching the fire from the other side, was obviously frightened, and quickly raised the firewall to prevent disaster prevention.US media reported that ESPN executives issued an internal memorandum to employees and reiterated that the company did not encourage any political discussions about Hong Kong or Chinese.At this moment, I believe that other foreign companies that have in -depth cooperation with China are shuddering, or similar prevention measures have been studied.
The situation in front of you can only be described in four words: everyone loses.The NBA lost China, this huge market that has been laid out for 30 years, and suddenly suspended Chinese enterprises that have suspended cooperation with NBA.The loss of the Chinese media was somewhat distressed.Not to mention hundreds of millions of places waiting to watch the broadcast of Chinese NBA fans, as well as media people in industrial chains such as NBA news reports, derivative product merchants, etc., everyone has become attached victims.
No wonder some people described Mo Lei's most expensive Twitter in history.But why do you cause this?In fact, Mo Lei did not activate the actions that actually supported the Hong Kong resistance. He was a perfect storm that caused the opposite of Sino -US values when he was strong in social media and was unprecedentedly rising by the Chinese people.One of the conflicts is the freedom of speech to defend in Xiao Hua's mouth, and the other side is the supremacy of the country in China.The response of the NBA Brooklyn's Chinese boss Cai Chongxin just summarized the essence, involving the issue of Chinese territorial integrity and national sovereignty, and no room for bargaining.
These are a positive conflict between the two values systems under the two value systems, and the violent struggle with Hong Kong independent colors makes the Chinese particularly sensitive to sovereignty issues. However, in the US value system, personal freedom is higher than collective or even evenHigher than national sovereignty, the two concepts are as difficult to compatible as water and oil.
The conflict of values is often no right or wrong, but some right and wrong cannot be mixed.If the American people such as Mo Lei face reality objectively, they may see that the development of Hong Kong's struggle to this day is very far away with the many beautiful imaginations of Liberty Democracy.The demonstrators destroyed the transportation infrastructure, smashed the background of the China -capital background, and even beat people with different positions. They trampled on the freedom of the hope of living normally in the name of fighting for democracy and freedom.Concept, or just to overthrow the government?
Moreover, the evolution of the fight against Hong Kong not only destroyed the social order in Hong Kong, but also destroyed the values of a generation of young people. They mistakenly thought that the opponents were demonized, and they could make all their illegal acts and even the innocent practices rationalized.From the perspective of taking care of youth, there is no reason to support such outdated and violent resistance.
However, China ’s ventricular punishment for NBA is also very promising.The remarks of Mo Lei or Xiao Hua can be criticized and condemned, but there is no need to disaster the entire NBA. This way of asymmetric counterattack makes everyone a loser, but the mobs in Hong Kong have not lost anything.
In the long run, after the anger of the mainland, I believe the NBA will return to China.However, the storm in front of it made people see that after the trade war and scientific and technological warfare, China -US wrestling has opened a new battlefield with values, and it can't stop.Compared with the dispute between interests, the war of values is more absolutely absolute, indicating that the world is becoming more and more divided, and it is difficult to have Ningri.
