To get totally away from doing business with China.

In response to Silver's support of Morey, Chinese State Broadcaster CCTV stated the following:

"We're strongly dissatisfied and oppose Adam Silver's claim to support Morey's right to freedom of expression," the statement read. "We believe that any remarks that challenge national sovereignty and social stability are not within the scope of freedom of speech."

CCTV has pulled all upcoming NBA games to be televised. And a lot of Chinese companies have completely severed ties.

That is just horrid on all levels, and who would want to have business ties with a Country that inhibits its own people from freedom of expression?

Billions would be lost, but the NBA will still exist like it did before, and can really establish its brand in places like Australia, South America, etc

It's insane how American Businesses who do business in China or with China have to remove their liberties and inhibit their expressions in order to maintain relations. However, Chinese companies can do business in america, buy up land and territory( especially in Cali), and have all the liberties and freedoms that americans have.
