Though the National Basketball Association finds itself back in the middle geopolitics, there are no plans to abandon its partnerships in China as tensions with the United States continue to intensify over national security concerns.
The latest threat to the NBA’s business operations in China comes following concerns that its streaming partner Tencent could be facing business interruptions following an executive order by President Donald Trump last week. The executive order claims Tencent’s WeChat app poses a threat to U.S. “national security, foreign policy and economy of the United States” and bans U.S. companies from doing business with it.
It’s still unclear whether or not Trump’s executive order is narrowly tailored to WeChat or all of Tencent, which has several investments in U.S. video game, sports and media companies. In the NBA’s case, Tencent has a five-year, $1.5 billion deal to stream NBA games in China, one of the league’s most lucrative markets outside the U.S. The deal was signed last July. The NBA didn’t provide a statement on the potential effects of Trump’s executive order.

Tencent crackdown poses threat to US champions from Apple to Nike
WeChat ban would hurt China but also hit businesses that rely on platform’s popularity
After crippling Huawei and breaking up ByteDance’s global business, the US has now turned its sights on a third Chinese technology giant, Tencent.
But banning WeChat, an app that is central to the lives of a billion Chinese users, would have a heavy impact not just on China’s second most valuable tech company, but also on swaths of US companies.
The language of an executive order signed by Donald Trump against WeChat on Thursday was vague and it was not clear how severe any sanctions will be. Tencent merely said that it was reviewing the order “to get a full understanding.”

The NBA says it has 1.4 million followers on Tencent’s WeChat, which although that pales in comparison to its 44 million followers on its Weibo, a Chinese social network that’s similar to Twitter. With the renewal of Tencent’s streaming rights deal last year, it’s estimated the NBA China’s valuation has surpassed $5 billion.

China banning the NBA is bullshit. They have a bigger direct Social Media presence in CHina now…and the CCP controls all the teams social media accounts.

Weibo is giving the Chinese their NBA fix until CCTV is brought back

Limited Tencent NBA broadcasts will make social indispensable to Chinese fans
However complicated television contracts are in the West, and how much the NBA bubble and return format can serve to recoup lost revenue, the situation in China is much more complex.
When the NBA season paused in March, games were not on CCTV and Tencent was already limiting digital broadcasts and avoiding all Houston Rockets content. While Tencent and the NBA will eventually renegotiate their US$1.5 billion digital rights deal signed just last July, the NBA business long term is simply too big to fail. Because the fans won’t let it.
Even without games, there has been surging demand on NBA content as the growth rate for the NBA China account has increased 81 per cent in adding more than 500,000 new fans just in the last two months. The Weibo hashtag #NBA Returns has already reached over 1.32 billion reads and 314,000 discussions - that’s quite a lot of chatter.
This trend is also seen with team accounts. Since mid-May, the top ten NBA team accounts added 310,700 new followers on average, representing a 56 per cent increase over the previous two months. China’s most engaged NBA team in 2020, the LA Lakers, are also the fastest growing team, gaining followers at a 100 per cent higher rate.
Mailman predicts that despite ongoing limitations on Tencent’s coverage, the games that are broadcast and their highlights will be devoured by NBA fans in China. Fans will flock to social for live updates, highlights and to consume the latest NBA drama of the Orlando Bubble - everyone will be talking about it.

Ambassador Michael McFaul said he was troubled by how the Russian press was portraying the US, its justice system and citizens amid an angry response to the case of three-year-old Max Shatto, who died in Texas last month.
The boy – who was born Maxim Kuzmin – has become a focal point of protest in Russia, with some officials openly accusing his adoptive mother of killing him. A US investigation has not yet stated cause of death.
Authorities in Texas are still trying to piece together the events leading up to the child's demise. He was last seen alive on 21 January, in the small town of Gardendale. His adoptive mother, Laura Shatto, says she found Max unresponsive in the backyard, where he had been playing. The three-year-old was taken to hospital but could not be revived. The medical examiner in West Texas has yet to pronounce cause of death, but has said there were signs of bruising on Max's abdominal area.
