Except that the WSJ warned in June something like this might happen to American properties.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-china-can-retaliate-beyond-tariffs-1529428031

China can’t match the scale of the White House’s latest tariff threats. But it could find other ways to upset U.S. business interests, including ones that hit as quickly as tariffs. ... It is easy to imagine attacks on U.S. brands by China’s tightly controlled media. As Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital Economics, points out, China has used this tactic before on Japan and Korea. In 2012, amid a long-running feud between Japan and China over a group of disputed islands in the East China Sea, Japan’s auto exports to China fell 80% over three months. Korean car makers were similarly hit when the country decided to install an antimissile defense system.

I'm not going to get in a political debate with you on a non-political discussion board.

Wait so Morey is some kind of Manchurian Candidate who was planted to tweet support for HK as a false flag so China could "overreact" and add punish the NBA as a means of opening up a new front in the economic war with the US?

"A Plan? Oh man, I hate plans. That means were gonna have to do stuff. Can't we just have a strategy......or a mission statement."

In Heisey's defense, it is nearly impossible to discuss this issue without touching on the political.  So, I am done discussing it here.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.
