Chinese Fans Cheered at Exhibition Game, while Tencent Resumed Broadcasting NBA in China
October 12
Despite China's NBA boycott after Morey's support for Hong Kong, Chinese basketball fans showed up at a NBA exhibition game in China:
//Thousands of Chinese basketball fans cheered on the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets at an NBA exhibition game in the city of Shenzhen//
October 14
Tencent seemingly halted the boycott as well:
//Tencent, the NBA primary media partner in China, resumed livestreaming preseason games on its sports website on Oct 14 ending a five-day-long suspension and boycott.
It is believed the company cannot give up on the business interests associated with its $1.5 billion NBA deal.
Many Chinese netizens lashed out at Tencent's Weibo, spamming all posts from Tencent Sports’ official account during the height of the incident with criticism that the company was not being patriotic enough. One user quoted the Mao's speech ‘There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests’ as a sarcasm to Tencent.//
