Exclusive – Chinese Concentration Camp Survivor on NBA: ‘They Don’t Want to Think About Humanity’
Breitbart ^ | 11/12/2021 | FRANCES MARTEL

Mihrigul Tursun, a survivor of China’s concentration camp system, urged the National Basketball Association (NBA) in remarks to Breitbart News on Friday to condemn China’s human rights abuses.

Tursun also warned star player LeBron James, one of China’s biggest business partners in the league, to distance himself from the regime “because money cannot do everything.”

Tursun was participating in a march Friday organized by the East Turkistan Government in Exile in Washington, DC, the purpose of which was to demand that the administration of President Joe Biden act to protect the Uyghur people from the ongoing genocide they are enduring at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. Tursun is an ethnic Uyghur Muslim from East Turkistan, an occupied western region China refers to as “Xinjiang,” and has testified to being forced into the Chinese concentration camp system three times between 2015 and 2018.

Just like the defiant Chinese national standing in front of the tanks in Tienanmen Square, these Chinese survivors need to stand defiantly in the center court of NBA games.

I hate Nike - I worked there for almost 15 years and towards the end every morning when I turned on my computer there was Kapernick’s ugly face with the word “SACRIFICE” over it. He who had just gotten 25 mil from Nike for kneeling during the national anthem. I remember when that Megan Rapponet or whatever her name is started the same thing and there was speculation that she was doing it so she could get money from Nike.

Meanwhile they sent hundreds of jobs to India - at the expense of efficiency but what did they care. What a bunch of hypocrites!

Mihrigul Tursun better watch his back. The ChiComms have agents in the US, and he might be found floating face down in the Potomac, if he’s not careful. I like that he’s exposing them firsthand, though.

We are checking the source of stuff we buy.

If it’s made in China, it goes back on the shelf.

Agree with Mr. Tursun’s sentiments but NBA players typically are not reverenced for their critical thinking skills.

Enes Kanter is the only NBA player openly and vocally critical of China and the CCP. The …. Only….. One.

Yep, playing a sport invented by an ‘oppressive white guy’ with Scottish heritage - Naismith.
