Yeah, the NBA has really stepped in it on this one, especially when you compare their official statement about the Morey tweet in English versus the one in Simplified Chinese. It'll be interesting to see how far the media goes down the China rat hole on this one versus just surface level stuff about Morey being insensitive to Chinese sovereignty concerns

The situation was interesting and disappointing by the NBA...then I saw the tweet from Joe Tsai (Alibaba co-founder and owner of the Brooklyn Nets) which was full on Chinese government propaganda and was like "oh lord, here we go"

Yeah, his statement is going to most likely escalate the media coverage.....I think. Making a statement to the effect of "I don't care what your opinion is this is an internal affair" is not one that enterprising sports media reporters are likely to let sit.....I hope

"The NBA backs its players speaking up about American police abuse—but goes into panic mode if its staff back protesting the Hong Kong police. It’s not alone. Contrast Apple’s behavior in the United States with its actions in China. In the United States, Apple has fought for privacy rights, even challenging the FBI itself. In China, it rolls over as soon as the state barks. In part, that’s because tackling state power is possible in the United States. Chinese firms must humiliate themselves before party power, from pledging eternal loyalty to President Xi Jinping to letting party cells into their management structure and writing self-criticism letters. Yet U.S. firms also have much more ability to push back against Chinese censorship—and the option not to be in China at all. Very few of them have ever done so."

According to CNBC this morning, South Park has been banned in China over the aptly-named episode, "Band in China/"  Self-fulfilling prophecy or regular prophecy?

There was a time when I thought The Simpsons was timely in lampooning current events, but South Park has taken it almost to the point of real-time.  It makes me think about the time when Homer asked the director if the cartoon was airing live, and the director's response was that it was too challenging for the animators...

Other than South Park and SNL, are there any other programs on TV today that produces each episode entirely within the six day window before it airs (other than news/media-related shows)?

Not that I'm aware of....I remember seeing a documentary or something by the South Park team where they talked about their ability to react in near real time to world events and how they had to pick and choose when they did it. For the first time in a while I'm going to record South Park on Wednesday cause I guarantee they will fire back.

Silver put out about as perfect a statement as he could in that situation, and China doesn't even attempt to hide their suppression of free speech and throws a fit that they wouldn't bend the knee.  Unreal, but not surprising.  Also tells me that HK is done for.  China won't back down

Interesting rumors coming out of HK.....there are starting to be indications that China is going to declare that HK must follow Chinese data sovereignty rules starting January 1st. For the uninitiated, amongst a lot of other IP concerns this would require any one that stores or transits data within HK to turn their encryption keys over to the Chinese government. Meaning the can read anyone's email, look at anyone's bank accounts, look at any companies big data set, etc.

Given the financial and tech companies with operations in HK this could turn into a big, big problem. My company is already making moves to off shore our AP data center from HK to somewhere else in the region.

I said early on that Chinese aggression starting with the extradition stuff would mean the end of HK as a business hub, and this solidifies it.  China has pushed Shanghai as a center for that kind of stuff, but its never been a global financial center like HK.  And it never will be with that sort of oversight.  Wild times.  Ive been to HK 10+ times since 2016 with a regular cadence and at this point, I'm not sure when I'll be back.

  you're right on that one pakman, they must have got it o.k'd because it had some balance with the "giant douche" and the "turd sandwich",  but i know for a fact that after the election, trey and matt held a meeting in which elon musk was present(don't know why) in which they apologized for some of the rejected material which led to more close calls than usual to get the show in by the deadline.  and yes, it was mainly because of some "restricted content" they had to change at the last minute.  they just announced a renewal for seasons 24-26 a few weeks ago- let's just say comedy central didn't want to repeat the mistakes of abc and i will bet matt and trey have a little more leeway going forward

  and yes, contrary to what mr cain seems to be all knowing on, comedy central is not his strong point.  CC does have a say in some of their stuff just as any network has a say in what is aired...right tim allen?  abc sure didn't cancel "last man standing" after season 6 for a lack of viewership.  i guess they just couldn't afford the production costs though, right cain?  fox broadcasting picked it up for season 7 faster than a nickle harlot on 47th and cicero and has just started season 8.

Yeah it may even end up worse than that because as the global eye turns away from HK the Chinese government will absolutely crack down and HK will have little to know business or economic value in the world at large. The Chinese government wants to bring the HK workload to Shanghai.

I just want to know where all the people are to decry Chinese totalitarianism....mostly tripping over themselves trying to get into the Chinese market I guess

[Cheeks]

I’m old enough to remember as a high school student when the UK and China agreed to a transfer where Ho g Kong would no longer be a British colony and become property of China.  That was the mid 80’s and the transfer was the late 90’s.  There were many people concerned this would end up going south eventually.

I cannot remember the deal details, but I thought China had to promise to preserve HK the way it was economically and politically for a long period of time....like 50yrs..75yrs...cannot recall.

Will they hold up their end of the bargain.  Back in the day the folks that were against the transfer said no.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

It was 50 years.

And remember that the UK only held a lease on Hong Kong until the late 90s.  China had made it known in the mid 80s that they would consider taking HK by force when the lease was up, so the UK didn't have a lot of leverage.

[HouWarrior]

In 1898, China leased HK to GB for 99 years in partial settlement over losing the first opium war with GB....

 over Tea, and over GB's insistence on making payment for tea by its forced importing of narcotic opium to the Chinese...who became hooked. Dope for tea. GB was a drug pusher

In 1984 (M Thatcher) negotiated the terms of the ending/turnover of their colony of HK to the Chinese, per the 99 year lease ending. Hong Kong would remain a semi-autonomous region (free port with a separate customs territory,capitalism, democratic)  for a 50-year period after the lease ended on July 1, 1997 .

Now, GB could likely argue the turnover treaty is being broken almost 30 years early by the Chinese...but to what end? They aren't getting HK back and ....

most folks nowadays frown on govt promoted sales of opium. Well....To an extent....

China makes and sells the more powerful fentanyl, and in the USA,  opium sales are a capitalist boom to the pharmaceutical industry.

The only thing CC has EVER censored from south park was the Muhammed episode. Which was done without approval from the SP creators. This sparked a very large argument between the two and if I remember correctly Trey and Matt stopped creating episodes for a few weeks afterwards.

Matt and Trey do NOT need SP. They are very successful in other ventures. They only produce it because they find enjoyment out of it. I would be willing to bet a fairly large sum that if CC were to ever start censoring Trey and Matt on things such as cankles then they would stop producing episodes then and there.

[Babybluejeans]

SP wasn’t censored. Made-up story. Typical conspiratorial paranoia around HRC, who people in my Republican Party are just obsessed with.

Semantics.  There’s a clause in the contract that basically says “Matt and Trey can’t cross the line.”  Viacom is constantly telling CC and SPS where that line is subject to their own interpretation; if Matt and Trey disagree, they can put the line wherever they want. 

If there’s a dispute, it’s up to an administrative judge to decide.  But it’s neither gone that far, nor will it, because all four parties have more to lose by sending it to court than they do if they just let it go for that week. 

Besides, public controversy sans court action is very lucrative for everyone involved these days.
