The hypocrisy of the ________

Yeah, I agree with you on China Chico. I used to hate Lebron, which peaked right around the time of the decision. Then he started speaking his mind a little more and I started to respect him for using his platform to effect change worldwide.

Then the NBA China scandal happened and he basically turned a blind eye, and now I'm back to having little respect for him. The NBA is in a unique position because I'd say out of the big 4 it's probably the biggest American league in China, but they are definitely turning a blind eye to Chinese transgressions so they can keep making money.

I think a lot of things are happing for the better right now in the country...it might be the right time to reset the relationship with China. We may have to pay a little more for items...it will be tough but we can do it. I’d like to see more options to for other developing countries in south and Central America...India...and other developing countries in Asia.

But we should be really mad about COVID, Hong Kong and these concentration camps. 2020 Is a hellavu year.

Pompeo says TikTok isn’t the only Chinese company that Trump will take action against


NEW YORK — President Donald Trump plans to take action on a what he sees as a broad array of national security risks presented by software connected to the Chinese Communist Party, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday.

Pompeo’s remarks followed reports that Microsoft MSFT, +0.54% is in advanced talks to buy the U.S. operations of TikTok, which has been a source of national security and censorship concerns for the Trump administration.

“These Chinese software companies doing business in the United States, whether it’s TikTok or WeChat — there are countless more ... are feeding data directly to the Chinese Communist Party, their national security apparatus,” Pompeo said on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“Could be their facial recognition patterns. It could be information about their residence, their phone numbers, their friends, who they’re connected to. Those — those are the issues that President Trump has made clear we’re going to take care of,” he said.

TikTok’s U.S. user data is stored in the U.S., with strict controls on employee access, and its biggest investors come from the U.S., the company said Sunday. “We are committed to protecting our users’ privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform,” a TikTok spokesperson said.
