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.

Not only did Chinese companies threatened the NBA to drop their sponsorships, advertisements and broadcasts; China's state broadcaster CCTV issued an open statement to condemn the NBA (Read here: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/8029).
Despite the NBA's commissioner Adam Silver kowtowing to China by apologizing, a huge number of Chinese netizens voice support for the 9/11 terrorist attack on social media platform.
They also demanded NBA to fire Morey for posting "Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong" on his personal twitter

The Legend of Pianist Fou Ts'ong å³č° (1934-2020)
Any lover of Classical Music, will have a few copies of Fou Tāsong playing Chopin.
His parents sank in the waves of Chinaās soaring growth. His father was a famous France- based cultural critic and translator of French literature.
In 1955, Fou Tāsong was invited to compete in the 5th International Chopin Piano Competition in Warshaw, and won the 3rd place, being the first Chinese musician to win in the event.
After graduating from his piano studies in Poland, Fou did not return to China in 1958. Such an action was amidst a political suicide. During the Cultural Revolution, Fouās parents were labelled by the Red Guards as rightists. The couple committed suicide by hanging themselves, and their graves were also destroyed later.
The Fou family was redressed when Deng Xiaoping came to power. Fou Tāsong was finally allowed to play in China.
Being called self-inflated and cynical, Fou responded in an interview by the Chinese media:
āI admit to being cynical, and I will always be cynical. There is nothing wrong about it. Humans should feel this way, to feel so strong about right and wrong. This is our instinct.ā
He summed up his outlook on life in a few sentences.
This is Fou Tāsong.
[Editor's note: Fou T'song was born in 1934 in Shanghai during the Republican era of China. He died of coronavirus on December 28, 2020 in London]
