Some people say that they think China’s government hinted to ban NBA. We should say that the Chinese sponsors banned the NBA on their own.. and the Chinese audience too. They’re asking for a reasonable response from the NBA management because [they] said it’s Morey’s right to say anything he wants to and we must respect his freedom of speech… What happened in HK, He thinks it’s a kind of democracy, we think it’s a kind of riot. I think Chinese have beliefs – one is Chinese wants to have a good life..and another strange one.. keeping the nation together. Morey’s tweet offends these beliefs. I think this accident’s cause is the right to define political correctness. Americans think they are the only one’s right to believe in political correctness. You cannot define other people’s political correctness. In Hong Kong’s accident, no matter Chinese government does what – it’s evil. If the Chinese government does not – it must be conspiracy. It’s the arrogance of foreigners. They think the Chinese government did something bad 30 years ago, so they must be doing something now.

Revised:

Some people say that they think China’s government hinted to ban the NBA, but we should say that the Chinese sponsors banned the NBA on their own.. and so did the Chinese audience. They asked for a reasonable response from the NBA management but [they] said it’s Morey’s right to say anything he wants to and [they] must respect his freedom of speech. In regards to what happened in HK, he thinks it’s a kind of democracy, we think it’s a kind of riot. I think Chinese have beliefs – one is that the Chinese wants to have a good life..and another strange one.. keeping the nation together. Morey’s tweet offends these beliefs. I think this cause of this accident is the right definition for political correctness. Americans think they are the only one’s entitled to believe in political correctness. You cannot define other people’s political correctness.

In Hong Kong’s accident, whatever the Chinese government does/may do – it’s evil. If the Chinese government does not do anything – it must be a conspiracy. It’s the arrogance of foreigners. They think the Chinese government did something bad 30 years ago, so they must be doing something now.
