- After the NBA's Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey voiced his support for Hong Kong protesters on Twitter, China’s state-run TV channel CCTV canceled its agreement to show preseason games. What academics, commentators, filmmakers, musicians, celebrities, and even institutions say outside of China is increasingly modified by the gravitational pull of the Chinese government and Chinese consumers.
Why are Americans having to apologize for tweeting tacit support of a pro-democracy movement being repressed by an authoritarian regime? To really understand what’s going on, we talk to experts and a banned-in-China cantopop star to explore the forces driving this reality.

"Hurt the feelings of the Chinese people" REALLY means: "Threatened the stability of the current regime"
Yeah, and the stability of the country too. Even though i hate the CCP, their actions help reinforce the stability of the country and boosts the economic wellbeing of the nation. Everything comes at a sacrifice and while their methods are cruel, china is the biggest market in the world only because of that
@@zeccy337 Their actions haven't boosted the well being of people. They have funneled money from public pockets to themselves by creating money out of debt, and they have destroyed any and all possibility of love with their ridiculous Malthusian policies. They are psychopathic idiots.. and their economy is going to collapse soon, as well as their demographics as a result. They will soon rule a desert that was once a beautiful garden.
@@zeccy337 on top of ALL that, the products coming out of China are terrible. They are designed with planned obsolescence, and break or fall apart all the time. The quality of products from there are the worst I have ever seen. When products were made in the USA, they were built to last.. until fiat currency and central banks highjacked everything.
@@user-tn1di6dm3x What you just said doesn't make sense. Perhaps read it, and check your English. I can't be lauded for being made in China because I wasn't made in China. You just said a lot of gibberish.

It’s not sustainable. How long are people gonna act like cowards?
No idea. But you're right, this status quo won't stand long, or rather can't stand for very long
Corporations and companies don't care. The majority of China's over 1 billion people are medium income households. While in America, there's a wealth inequality, with the majority of people being low income households compared to medium income households, while the wealthy 1% hold the majority of America's wealth. China has more people AND more spending power, and that's why companies care so much about respecting what China thinks, they want to tap into their market more than they care about values because it's a bigger market. For companies, it's more sustainable then you think, corporations will prioritize wealth over everything.
@@Huron2000 Indeed, China because of the social rights leftover from the revolution established a mass basis for a consumer market. Whereas companies in America scrapped jobs in the industrial sector. Tbh Chinese censorship is no worse than in the west often. I've been hacked by gov trolls in Britain on Twitter. Had my comments censored or hidden. Been Shadow banned etc.
@@donbarzinitut no worse?...imagine Germany censoring or trying to erase the Holocaust. No the American censorship doesnt come close

I guess they should count themselves as lucky. Offend China more & they could get an early retirement. Sadly such activities only affirms Dr Kaku’s observations: As humanity progress towards a Тип 1 civilization, more suffering/tragedies are likely to occur. Hopefully the sufferings will be limited.
@Richard Yang Criticising the Chinese government doesn't equal disrespecting or hating Chinese people. As someone who grew up in an Eastern European ex-communist country, I can empathize with Chinese people pretty well. Only the Chinese government wants to equate criticism with insults and hurting feelings, to prop up their nationalist propaganda.
@Richard Yang I agree with a lot of your arguments. China achieved many spectacular things in the past few decades. This is exactly why it's so hard to understand the lack of self confidence and pettiness of such communication practices and policies. China should be proud, stand tall and set an example for the rest of the world. Not bully their partners, descend into childish mud fights and alienate potential allies. It doesn't seem like a wise strategy.
@Richard Yang Remember how that American student died in North Korea? :D
@Richard Yang Everytime some one uses a word like "us" "we" on CZcams as if their sole stance represent the whole country, it gets so cringe. Sit down kid, you got no power unless you are a part of high ranking member of CCP. You don't get to decide. LOL
Honestly, when facing adversary like this. The best course is to use that spotlight and double down even more like South Park did.
Parker and Stone have balls, gotta hand it to them.
Absolutely, it's sad that the only ones with balls are cartoonist.
@Richard Yang the analogy of denouncing violations of human rights is not body-shaming, is rather bully-shaming. "SURE, you can shame the school bullies for being bullies, but don't expect them to not bully you back in any way they can."
Exactly, Chinese censorship does not affect you at all. Just like southpark, who has no business to do with us and can say whatever they want, and the Chinese government do not care. You don't have to care the Chinese market but if you do, you have the freedom to follow the regulations.
Richard Yang Nope, westerners are not stupid, and they don't have to learn respectfulness.
'we love -China- money'
more money you make from China, more backbones you have. When you feel you are rich, just say China is an evil nation, when money is spent up, just come back, you are welcome again.
the crossed-out words can be replaced by anything to be honest.
China is exporting their cencorship and other authoritorian methods to the world.
It's getting really scary....
This world is same. Not only in revisionist China. All of them are part of this global capitalism slavery. We Marxists must do a real worldwide Socialist revolution, overthrow all oligarchy, governments and profits ad liberate and get all powers to the working people! Workers of the world, unite!
China can't export censorship. It's simple not possible. People are simply implementing censorship in their own countries on their own freewill.
So, you are saying all the government around the world are dumb? or they will take on the ideas? You are crazy😂
that's not censorship, that's simply that China does not market your music,.. products...
"Increasingly, they appear to be choosing money" or as South Park would put it "We too love money more than freedom and democracy" :(
Oh Democracy, u mean invading and colonialising other nations ??

@@person10 but it's still the one person on twitter who can't take criticism and blocks everyone.
Sometimes China reminds me of an easily offended bully :-(
Except US is the bully here
Oh, you mean like US?
You don't even have to say a word, and US is bullying you already....lol
I mean come on, let's be real here, companies wants to do business in China, you follow their rules...simple as that.
If you do business in US or any other countries, you follow their rules too.
If you don't like it, then don't do business there...no one is forcing anyone that you have to do business in China.
If China is an easily offended bully, like I said, US is much easier, and they will bully you using the excuse of democracy, freedom and national security.
And guess what? Many weaker countries in Middle East had been bullied by western nations and especially US for hundreds of years. Why does this not remind you the west and US are all time big bullies?
@@ginnox2049 i never said the US wasn't a bully. i know all about the US' nasty past. but if china has been bullied in the past, why are they doing the exact same thing to Africa, why are they extending their censorship so far outside of their terrority. don't you think there's a problem with that? or do you agree with what the Chinese government is doing.
@@bunnietime again, are u sure it's extending? The video mentioned already, everyone gets to choose outside China, censor or not censor, your choice.
But I wouldn't even put my attention solely on China in regards or censorship issues. Take Beijing's 1989, June 4th Tiananmen incident for example, the Tank Man which is well known to many in the west...Many agrees that the man got ran over by the tank, and even claimed they saw it on the news when it happened. Censorship in action, cut off the scene at the end of the record, and only show part of it, then use words to start brainwashing people to start to believe they had seen the tank ran over the man. Truth, the man was only being dragged away by other people on foot, never got ran over by tanks.
If censorship in the west is at such a level, not only are they blocking out information to their own people, but also creating fake information to mislead them...Then why is it China's little censorship of blocking insult or bad mouthing on them is a bigger problem to many of us?
You tell me which is more concerning... If there are only two choices, since neutral is not possible in any media, then I prefer censoring bad information instead of information that mislead us to hate others and create wars.
Yatto Leung China’s tactic also seeks to ignite hate. Look closely and think with me for a sec. china’s identity is very linked to the concept of oneness, correct? The Han people. The chinese identity. One China. One people. What does this idea not leave room for? Any sort of minority. Example: Uighur people and the camps. China flat out lies about what these camps are for and that they’re good and fun “re-education” camps. And many chinese believe this and agree that the uighurs should go there. Now, think about how whenever there’s an internal political issue with China. What does China always do? They blame an external power like the United States or some foreign power for infiltrating and igniting the chaos. The Chinese government encourages protests ONLY when they’re nationalistic and anti-some foreign power. Just look into it. I’m not trying to say that America or any western country is innocent, I’m just saying that China does the same thing too. It’s just less obvious
I'll tell you where censorship is a problem: CZcams.
They have a similar policy. Hurt the feelings of the politically correct and you will disappear

There's still one thing that I don't fully understand, that's if these companies are that unhappy about Chinese censorship why not they just ignore it and keep saying whatever comes in their mind. I mean it's easy to do so and it's not necessary to be forced to apologize. As long as these companies are happy to lose the Chinese market, they can still speak whatever they like. Just get some balls to do so.
line caro agree
Most of the time its unintentional or done by lower level people who are unaware or don't care about Chinese censorship
Exactly, it is easy as that. Don’t earn money from China and say bad things about China
Yes I agree, I don't know why they complain, if Chinese does not work with you because you offense them, just ignore it and keep saying bad of China, that's very easy and simple, why still compain Chinese?
They aren’t happy to lose money in Mainland China. That’s a lot of money
Just STOP doing business with China altogether! It's annoying and frustrating to see this kind of news resurfacing every few weeks.
China has money and companies want money.
It all started with HongKong, you can blame the US and it's media for it. Americans get overflooded with the news and brainswashed by the biased coverage. This how NBA and everyone got involved int he first place. Despite Chile, Haiti, Ecuador, Catalonia and Iraq are ignored all together. It was a scheme to undermine China.
@@crystalball020 exactly they want chinese business but they are bashing the govt. Why shld any country accept that type of mentality. China shld stop lending money to the US.

China would not have money without the West. Without foreign investment in the 1980's, China would still be like North Korea. It's not even Communist anymore, there are privately owned Chinese companies everywhere! Mao would be furious.

But I remembered I still have families and friends in China.

@@jimmybon9314 Although your concern for Muslim Uighurs is both admirable and genuine, it has largely been fostered by Western media sources and the US government, which have, heretofore, been overtly hostile toward pretty much every other Muslim/Islamic group -- even within the confines of our US borders. Do the same media outlets display the same degree of concern for the tens, if not hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of innocent people killed at the hands of the US military and its' allies abroad? Unfortunately not. And you are probably very unaware of these atrocities because the information resources you believe and trust, selectively censor and withold such factual information. Are you aware of the recently-discovered grossly exaggerated numbers and false claims associated with Uighur detention camps given by the few key individuals the US and its' NGOs have relied on? Such false information, propaganda and fabricated narratives, spread via the US media to the public, only serve to promote America's objective of dismantling China. If you are able to perform your own introspection and assessment of the overall big picture -- beyond just the struggle of the Uighurs and China, and beyond what the mainstream media dictates -- your perspectives may change.

I am Hong Kong citizen. I saw the western media and Governments most of the time said something bad to China government. For instance, Hong Kong less than 20% of the population wants independence. When Hong Kong rioters protested and damaged our city. Western governments and media (CNN, BBC, NewYork Times...) blamed China government. On the other side of the world, Barcelona. There have 92% of the population wants independence. Barcelona protesters damaged the city just like Hong Kong rioters. Western governments blamed the Barcelona people as rioters. Western governments always act like this.

Either censorship is okay, or it isn't. Or if you want to set a yardstick, make sure it's fair.
@@cyzcyt Obviously China is a capitalist regime in a historically oppressed country and so naturally it has censorship and certain lacks of Democratic rights but the argument that the USA doesn't also censor its media is absurd. It has for decades had the intelligence agencies deeply embedded into traditional mainstream media like NYT, CNN and Fox News. None or hardly any are accurately reporting on the protests at the moment so what's up with that ? Also has America had continued same policies for the same what, 50 years ? Why is there a 2 party system which in reality is a one party system ? Same with the UK as well which though has more rights is still essentially only a superficially democratic country. Europe has more on the whole but they are quickly vanishing. Look at the protests in Gilet Jaune. Look at the censorship of Polanksi after his excellent film came out due to establishment concocted Metoo movement. Look at Assange rotting in prison right now held illegally for an extradition process which the UN has said is politically motivated torture.

Both, but, if Chinese love you so much, CCP will put some extra space, like NBA, once those 2 games completely sold out, government back down a little bite in this issue.
All Chinese people even in western has CCP ideology.
It is strange that some companies and individuals would find it ok to first insult Chinese people and then expect to make money from Chinese people. Why is is so strange that the Chinese simply say "We don't want your business anymore"?
So I'm curious does China actually allow free press at all as in media can show investigative journalism in any area e.g politics , how the country run or if the politician is crap?
So people can't speak their mind because they are greedy? Who's fault is that?
Desire is the root of all suffering. Problem is when the greedy attempt to control others.
China’s done themselves a favor for banning Katy Perry and Justin Bieber. Still messed up tho
At 7:18 it's Anitra's Dance by Grieg
7:08 There is only one China. Taiwan is not China.
Tony ROC is the abbreviation for the Republic of China. I honestly don’t know why they bother having that name around still.
What does the passport cover of Taiwan says? REPUBLIC OF CHINA
If you wants somebody's money, you shouldn't be spitting at their face. How hard it that to figure out? I would say that a universal value.
China spits itself in the face.
@@nal8503 Atheists spit at Heaven. Their spit will come back upon their faces! :-)
Ancient China cared about Heaven. Modern China worships money.
I really can't understand how all these people can't understand that... If you don't want to deal with their way of doing things in their own country then cut all ties with them it's simple... Let's see where that will get us 😂
this is what happens when money controls everything.
watchulla capitalism baby
I noticed that the Hong Kong artist had his voice subbed while the marketing agent's voice was voiced over ala UN.
Does anyone know a better wholesale buying website other than Alibaba - less reliant on Chinese suppliers?
3:21 Living life without hypocrisy, is an excellent social behavior.
It's sad that western media are still calling Hong Kong protests a freedom movement while calling the protesters in Spain separatists... at least be consistent
always subjective
it's like a person attacking someone you hate is your 'friend'
but, when a person attacks someone you like, they = 'enemy'
hold up HK is already separated and does not operate under any chinese jurisdiction. Catalans have their autonomous region but still adheres to spanish civil law and wants to break free and be separate with Spain. Whats wrong with that?
catalans are more oppressed than people of hong kong confirmed
@@sinoroman tell me, where do you come from? how sure are you with that?
Hong Kong’s culture is based on being not China. Before the British it was just a few villages. People who hated the ccp went to HK specifically bc it was not China. Spain has no such dynamic with Catalonia
This reminds-me of one of the french monarch from 1700s, in order to gain control of the all land in french he decided to buy a lavish castle or resort ,mansion and invited all the royals there for the week ,which they came because they wanted to go to new place. They made sure to walk on egg shells when it came to him , ex, they cried when he cried ,laugh when he laugh etc... if they did anything that he did not approve or like they would be sent back and ban from the coming back (idk know if i got it fully correctly)
Wow... so much feeling...
Is political correct also self-censorship in western countries?
And I don't think any country would accept separatism.
No in most countries outside of China, celebrities can say whatever they like and the government has no right to censor people.
D sure, why would they censor who support China's separatism
D but when it comes to them, I think Spain just did an example
@@yhzh755 Nobody outside of China cares about "China's separatism". The 5 demands of the HK protests have nothing to do with separatism, and Taiwan already functions as a separate country.
1:08 "people outside of mainland China now have to watch what they say" Yes, Americans used to say "Chinks" and n-world all the time.
Racial terms suck, can be inflammatory and hurtful. But censorship without context is just as harmful. I think the intent was toward constructive expression without fear. Anti political party sentiment online won't get me jail time, but if I have family in an oppressive regime they may face retribution for my speech.
@@chileprotestpolicevideos8162 It's not censorship without context, this video just diden't show you the context, and make the chinese seems like bloking everybody for no reason.
After this im watching...."Making the world's hottest peppers"
would you do a video on foreign companies doing business in countries but yet vocal about the government. what would happen to those business.?
"Hurting the feelings of the Chinese people"
Hey, I remember this.
This is Charlie Hebdo again.
This documentation is extremely biased. It is trying to picture china as unreasonable and arbitrary. Firstly, breaking China is more than "hurt Chinese's feelings". If I support New York should be an independent country or California to be an independent country. Does it hurt your feeling? Yes of course. But more importantly, it hurt your dignity, your identity, your interest. It hurts your everything. Secondly, a lot of protesters, especially celebrities, they dont care the ownership of Hongkong. They just want attention desperately. They dont know the whole issue, and they dont educate themselves. They only care their own interests.
@@designerjuly2437 Indeed, separating your country and breaking families does not just "hurt feelings". How ignorant when people are saying this!
I will admit in that respect that it is not the same as Charlie Hebdo. This is not taken to be outsiders criticizing a culture, it is taken to be internal dissidents fracturing China's national unity.
Most Americans, and maybe most Westerners generally, today, do not strongly believe in national unity or national identity, and they would favor the idea of the self-determination of a group of people like the people of Hong Kong to consider themselves separate from a larger group.
It's actually a recurring joke here that California, or Texas, or some other state, should secede from the union and be an independent country. It seems likely to be a _bad economic idea_ in any case, but the value placed on self-determination here is such that it's regularly put forth as that kind of joking statement. The suggestion is never considered to be an offense against anyone's dignity, or identity either, because, as stated before, identity is very individualistic here.
So, in short, that particular angle is not going to work for trying to convince Americans that the protests are wrong. Try harder.
@@AexisRai How about this one: Separatism in PRC = Racism in the U.S.
(this comment intents no offense to any group of people)
So....We have to do business with them, even if they say something that we don't like? Where is our right to choose who we gonna do business with? Is It the time that the shop choose customers not the other way around?
thanks for shedding light on tzuyu's hostage video (6:51)
the kpop group she's in (twice) does zero promotions in china.
it still became the most successful and profitable kpop girl group in history.
a great example that firms do not need to tolerate chinese antics to do very well.
There seem to be more than a few people on here with English language names & ordinary language skills. How do you say syntax in Mandarin?
if you're satisfied knowing just grammar instead of syntax, 语法. i'm curious about your sentence actually - what do you mean exactly by "ordinary"?
@@baxzyc it's a fairly common usage. Not terrible , but not good either. Not an insult, but not praise either.
Ok ok enough china enough hongkong, lets talk about Catalonia
Spain is a western country so it won't get as much coverage.
Gilbert no
Mainlanders are so easily being hurt nowadays. Easily being offended🙄
yeah thats it, i commented in a really pro china video that no country is perfect and lots of chinese people come to me and said that i wasnt a real chinese and things like that xd
@考上UNI Who wants to hurt whose feeling ei? Telling the truth and you cannot accept it and improve yourself instead, you got a problem.
New York, New York
Ahh yes i see, the floor is made out of floor
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS FASCISM DISGUISED AS MANNERS.
You hate them or love them you got to respect China. The way this country has risen in the last 30 years. From a poverty-stricken developing country to 2nd most powerful nation on Earth, now that's quite remarkable. Every country on this earth wants to prosper and want to have a certain degree of hegemony by hook or by crook. How the way they do it is what matters.
lets not forget how america helped build their economy
Every country and company could still do very well without being in the Chinese market. They are the ones that would end up losing. The ban on NBA games didn’t even make it to the start of the regular reason as there was so much demand.
True but the problem is that people are greedy so they won't just let go of money making China
The reason why the NBA is unbanned is that this mega-totalitarian regime needs more entertainment for people to distract them from all the social problems caused by the government
I want to tell you that the Chinese government has not boycotted the NBA, but the Chinese are boycotting it. If I say in the United States that 9 / 11 is great, racism is reasonable, and school shooting is normal, would you be angry?
So like if I actually become a singer like I want I can't take trips to or perform in Taiwan and Hong Kong?
There is no language called "Taiwanese".
The rich always win.
巨人の肩 Not if you work in the Chinese entertainment industry apparently.
If you want to do business with a country do just that don't meddle in their affairs the same way that you don't want them to meddle into yours. If you let me in to your house you absolutely don't want me to rearrange your furniture because it was not to my liking nor do you want me to start redecorating your house and start telling you how to treat your children
Are the Hong Kong residents China's children?
Although as the host would I not want to make you at least a little comfortable in my house, sure I love you be respectful, but I would still want your legitimate opinion, and can be toned Passive aggressive or passive.
But what if their affairs effects your business or way of business with said country?
the logic is, how can you come to my house as a guest and share my food, but you are saying something to insult me . i don't think any sane person would want that...
Why was this video deleted?
But when youtube promotes anti Chinese video (not talking about this video) and channels it is okay to choose money over political views okay. It is only a political stance if it doesnt fit yours.
