Heat Owner Micky Arison, for example, has more than $375 million invested in China with his collaboration with China State Shipbuilding Corp., a company that is working with Arison’s Carnival Cruise business and a co. that is deeply connected to the Chinese military.
In other words, Arison is deep in bed with a company that is building warships for the Chinese military, ships intended to destroy America’s navy, and ships that Chinese leaders intend to use to invade U.S. ally Taiwan. The Chinese company is also on a list of those sanctioned by the U.S. government.
Meanwhile, hypocrite Arison claims to be a “human rights activist.”
Nets owner Joe Tsai’s company, Alibaba, has a troubling habit of funding the companies developing the technology to track, record, and control China’s inhabitants. China has the most advanced, inhuman surveillance state ever created. And the NBA’s favorite team owner has helped China build the infrastructure to create that oppressive regime.
Tsai, who also owns WNBA’s New York Liberty and the San Diego Seals of the National Lacrosse League, is worth $8.5 billion, mostly from his Amazon-esque company Alibaba, headquartered in Hangzhou, China, with a revenue of over $700 billion per year.
Yawn…I hope they lose every dollar…or yuan or whatever…
Next up, ESPN found that Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera’s stake in Asian wireless co. Ubiquiti finds him invested in China to the tune of $369 million.
So many other owners are also neck-deep in genocidal China. Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta’s restaurant chain totals $160.3 million exposure in China, Charlotte Hornet co-owner Michael Jordan has $85 million in exposure, and 76ers owner Joshua Harris has 476.5 million at risk in China.
These owners and their personal investments are only added to the $5 billion the NBA has invested in the communist giant.
