people really and the n.b.a. and china really are so intertwined with one another i think there will be a way for what ultimately for all concerned what does it mean for businesses away from sports who want to tap into this 14 trillion dollar economy i mean you'd have to take some pretty extraordinary measures to restrict the freedom of expression of your employees would you. well it's very interesting because over the last 10 days we have seen some businesses some sponsors commercial partners broadcasters really stepping back from from china from the n.b.a. from the coverage of games that have taken place in china involving n.b.a. teams during that period so i think what it does show and we've seen this in other industrial sectors is that sport will now have to confront the reality of if it wishes to do business in china there is a certain way of saying and doing things and i guess is always this is not unusual because if you are operating in cats or if you're operating in great britain the same is true there ar
