Apparently there are some things which Giannis Antetokounmpo is not concerned about.
China’s state-run propaganda newspaper Global Times celebrated on Monday the arrival of Giannis Antetokounmpo in Beijing...
... The Global Times noted that the Antetokounmpo family’s arrival sends a signal to other NBA players that “significant commercial opportunities” exist for them in China, essentially making a statement that cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party is not only safe, but lucrative...
...At press time, Antetokounmpo has not made any public statements from China condemning China’s ongoing genocide of ethnic Uyghur and other Turkic peoples in occupied East Turkistan, ethnic cleansing campaigns in occupied Tibet and Inner Mongolia, or the brutal repression of Christians, Muslims, Falun Gong practitioners, or other people of faith. None of his social media posts at press time have addressed the widespread use of slavery in Chinese factories, which produce much of the world’s athletic equipment...
Maybe he'll have something to say when he returns to the US.
But the NBA has its own agenda ($$$$$) and it's likely Giannis was told to STFU if he has any thoughts about genocide, Catholic-killing, and slave labor.
