On October 5, 2019 (September 7, 2019 lunar calendar), NBA Morey incident.? Houston Rockets General Manager Morey On October 5, 2019, a controversial tweet by Rockets General Manager Morey set off a storm in the world of sports. Morey, the general manager of the US NBA Houston Rockets, promoted the slogans of Hong Kong extremist violent elements on his social media account, which was criticized in China. The Chinese Consulate General in Houston has lodged stern representations with the Rockets. The Chinese Basketball Association and the Central Radio and Television CCTV Sports Channel have successively announced the suspension of exchanges, cooperation and broadcasting with the club. In addition to this, a number of Houston Rockets' sponsors in China have issued official statements announcing the suspension or termination of related cooperation with the Rockets. Not long ago, the Rockets' home court had just played a sign "celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China". In a blink of an eye, Morey publicly made remarks in support of violent elements in Hong Kong, a typical "face to face one set behind the other". Morey then deleted the above remarks but continued to quibble for himself, and the result became more and more black. In the face of strong protests from Chinese fans, the Rockets owner Firtita "urgently clarified": Morey cannot represent the Houston Rockets, saying that "the team has nothing to do with politics". NBA chief communications officer Michael Buss also issued a statement: We are extremely disappointed by the inappropriate remarks made by Houston Rockets general manager Darryl Morey, who has undoubtedly seriously hurt the feelings of Chinese fans. But from beginning to end, there has been no apology from the parties involved. We know that national sovereignty cannot be challenged and national dignity cannot be violated at any time, whether in Eastern or Western countries. As a manager who knows China well and has a high reputation, Morey disregarded basic facts and publicly opened his eyes for the rioters who caused chaos in Hong Kong. He completely touched the bottom line of China's principles and was a blatant offense to all Chinese people, including the majority of fans. Not only that, NBA has always claimed to be a positive energy of unity and is committed to building bridges for international cultural exchanges, but as a famous NBA manager, Morey's words and deeds are obviously contrary to the culture advocated by NBA. Therefore, this will not only affect Morey himself and the image of the Rockets he works for, but also affect the international image of NBA. As we all know, because of Yao Ming, the Rockets have been very popular in China for many years. In the past 17 years, the Rockets have obtained a large number of sponsors from China, made a lot of money, and became a very successful team in the NBA to explore the Chinese market. Morey himself is one of the beneficiaries of this cooperation. But being favored does not mean that you can do whatever you want. Chinese fans are first and foremost Chinese. Fans love basketball, but they love the motherland more. Any Chinese with a conscience will have zero tolerance for challenging national sovereignty. NBA President Xiao Hua over the years, some multinational companies have tried to step on the bottom line of principles concerning China's sovereignty, but they have been firmly resisted by the Chinese people. Hong Kong affairs are China's internal affairs, and irresponsible remarks and nonsense are not tolerated by others. If Morey and the Rockets are to truly recognize the harm they have done to the Chinese people, they need to make a sincere apology to the Chinese people, immediately correct their mistakes, and eliminate the bad impact. China's determination to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests and to safeguard Hong Kong's prosperity and stability is unswerving. No one should underestimate the determination and confidence of the Chinese people in the 1.40 billion to safeguard national sovereignty and national dignity. We want to warn Moreys that the two-faced approach of trying to extract a lot of money from China on the one hand and hurting the feelings of the Chinese people on the other hand is unworkable and is doomed to pay a price!
