NBA owners have $10 billion in China, afraid to criticize Communist regime
Owners of NBA teams have collectively invested more than $10 billion in Communist-controlled China, giving them a personal interest in a country increasingly at odds with the U.S. as the league's lucrative business expands there.
NBA China now contributes about $150 million to the value of each of the league's 30 teams, ESPN reported last year. But that is only one part of that $10 billion figure, which also accounts for team owners' various other financial ties to the world's second-largest economy.
The NBA owner with by far the highest percentage of their net worth tied to China is Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai, according to ESPN. He has 53.5 percent of his fortune there, largely because he co-founded the Chinese e-commerce titan Alibaba.
The next highest is Sacramento Kings co-owner Paul Jacobs, with an estimated 30 percent of his net worth linked to Chinese business, according to ESPN.
The NBA has come under increasing scrutiny for its China ties since former Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted support for Hong Kong protesters in 2019. NBA players and officials distanced themselves from the tweet, but China still banned NBA broadcasts for 18 months, exposing the league's increasing dependence on Chinese goodwill.

Robert Kuhn, who advises Chinese political leaders and multinational corporations doing business in China, highlighted the incentive not to criticize China as "a significant issue and problem that American companies have."
"It's a tension between those two poles ... to see companies promoting social justice in the U.S. but staying silent on what would be perceived to be far worse issues in China," he said. "This is going to be an issue for the rest of our working lives."
An example of that came in 2021 after Nike, the longtime sponsor of legendary player and Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan, faced allegations that its cotton came from forced labor in China's Xinjiang region. The U.S. State Department has declared that China is committing an ongoing "genocide" against Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang.
Nike said it was "concerned" but "does not source products" from the region, a response that drew a boycott from Chinese consumers, ESPN reported.

Mother Jones, sometimes referred to colloquially as MoJo or MJ, is a left-of-center bimonthly general interest and politics magazine published out of San Francisco, California.[1] The magazine is named for Mary Harris Jones, a labor union organizer and activist working throughout the United States in the early decades of the twentieth century. It is a publication of the 501(c)(3) organization Foundation for National Progress and financed through donations, subscriptions, and advertisements.
The magazine is edited by Clara Jeffery. Past editors include Michael Moore, Adam Hochschild, Paul Jacobs, Richard Parker, Deborah Johnson, Jeffrey Bruce Klein, Mark Dowie, Amanda Spake, Zina Klapper, and Deirdre English.[2] The Foundation's CEO is Monika Bauerlein.
The foundation was established in 1975 and the publication in 1976 with the declared intent to preserve journalism from corporate influence and interference, and has sought to write often about corporate interests.[3] Foundation for National Progress is a regular recipient of left-of-center billionaire George Soros' money through donations from his Open Society Foundations, as well as donations from other progressive organizations and special interests.
