Scott Thompson _Fox_
senator Marsha Blackburn put NBA executive Bill Koenig on the spot to assure USA citizens that league's cozy relationship with Red China's ruling criminal gangsters will not harm freedom of USA citizens, nor citizens of Hong Kong
"...«Going back to 2019, with Daryl Morey's tweet in support of the Hong Kong [protestors for freedom], and that resulted in the suspension [of] the NBA broadcast on their state-run media channels. In recent years, it appears you all have patched that relationship up, which means there had to be some sort of deal that was there and must have been quite a deal/»   Morey, who was the Houston Rockets' general manager at the time, fired off a tweet that said, «Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong», in 2019 October. That tweet was in support of pro-democracy protests happening in the communist state...
«The estimates are these media rights are worth hundreds of millions of dollars to you all, and that NBA team owners have invested as much as $10G [in Red China]. I think some clarity into those numbers would be important.»..."
Zachary Howell: Mutants Keeda: Daryl Morey's righteous tweet about Red China brought up by Republican senator questioning NBA's close relationship with the Red China ruling criminal gangsters
Terry Lyons: Digital Mutants Desk
"...NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum...spoke of the NBA's plans to return to Red China and play a pair of games in Macau this October, the first since the controversial 2019 dust-up caused by (then Houston Rockets GM; now Philadelphia 76ers GM) Daryl Morey’s tweet to «Fight For Freedom. Stand With Hong Kong». Tatum fully explained that after the NBA put out a statement defending Morey's rights to express his opinion, that Red China's CCTV removed NBA programming from its airwaves but later returned things to normal operating, all the while the league’s primary broadcast outlet «Tencent» continued to air games and highlights..."
2024-12-06: Warner Todd Huston: Breitbart
"The NBA will play two preseason games in Red China, 5 years after an effective ban was placed on them by communist leaders of that oppressed state. Red Chinese [ruling criminal gangsters] yanked the games after Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey expressed support for Hong Kong's 🇭🇰 pro-democracy [pro-freedom] protesters..."

tariffs in USA history
"...Average tariffs, above 50% in 1900, were under 20% by 1920... The result, called the Smoot-Hawley Tariff after its principal sponsors in the Senate and House, was to raise the tariff on 20K imported commodities. It was the highest tariff [import tax] in [USA] history... In 1947, 23 countries met in Geneva, Switzerland, and they established the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). [Was this a treaty, ratified by the USA senate, or merely an executive agreement?]... In the first round of GATT negotiations, 45K tariffs were reduced, affecting about $10G in annual world trade. [So there is not one USA import tax, but 40K, 45K, 50K, 100K different import taxes on different chemicals, manufactured goods... What are those different import taxes? What are their rates? How do the taxes to import goods into the USA compare with the taxes to import goods from the USA into Red China, into the UK, into France... all 100K or howevere many of them? What are the average and weighted average import taxes in each time period?]...
In 1995, GATT evolved into the World Trade Organization (WTO). In 1999, Communist China, which had seen explosive economic growth since the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, was admitted to the WTO. [Which promptly decreed that being honest about the places of origin of goods -- particularly agriculture goods -- sold in the U.S.A. would be somehow unfair.]...
In 1950, according to the World Bank, 62.12% of the world's population was living in extreme poverty. In 2017, the percentage had fallen to 9.18% [as the definitions of living in poverty and living in extreme poverty were repeatedly tweaked to make such comparisons meaningless. Why cherry-pick these years? Why aren't World Bank, IMF, OECD reporting the annual figures since, e.g. 1920?]...
The U.S.A., for instance, has a 2.5% tariff on cars imported from Germany, while Germany has a 10% tariff on [U.S.A.] cars. In addition, Germany's value-added tax is remitted on exports but charged on imports [and it also does not take into account non-tariff/non-import-tax barriers; e.g. delays in import inspections & many other sorts]. As a result, while the logos of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen are seen all over [U.S.A.] roads, those of Ford and General Motors are a rare sight in Germany. And Red China, as already noted, is far worse, a world outlier, in terms of its nefarious trade policies. [At the same time, CAD/CAM/CAE software developed in the U.S.A. was being purchased in Germany, Red China and elsewhere, to help design Daimler, VW, Lamborghini (sp?)... vehicles, aircraft, tools, weapons, etc.. The rights to some of that software were purchased by companies and governments in France and elsewhere since at least 1990 while tens of thousands of U.S.A. engineers and software developers were RIFfed, down-sized, dumped, displaced by cheap, young, low-skilled foreign labor with flexible ethics between 1986 and the present.]
