However, Chinese netizens had a different take according to the statements they post on social media:

- "The freedom of speech enjoyed by Morey is the same as the freedom to support the 9/11 [Terrorist Attack]"

- "I support 9/11 Terrorist Attack and the deceased anti-US fighter Bin Laden"

- "I think the 911 incident is a great battle for faith"

- "Support 9/11 [Terrorist Attack], this is justice"

- "I support Bin Laden's operation to maintain world peace"

- "Hoping for another 9/11 every single day"

Some Chinese netizens even attached photos of the burning World Trade Center, which most people would find disturbing.

This came after Houston Rocket's manager Daryl Morey raised concern over the encroachment of freedom in Hong Kong with his social media account.
