The NBA League’s Training Center Amidst the Uyghur Genocide 🏀😲
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 2020-08-25

In Oct. 2016, the NBA (the American National Basketball Association) set up one of its three Chinese training centers in Ürümqi, the capital of Xinjiang. The center, which houses roughly 240 student-athletes ages 14 to 18 has kept a very low profile. That’s unsurprising, because the NBA presence in Xinjiang is shameful. It’s not hard to figure out the motives of the NBA; China has a market of 1.4 billion potential fans. Beijing presumably approves of the league’s presence in Xinjiang—both because it helps bring development to a relatively poor region and because it helps legitimize the repression against Uighur Muslims. There are also reports of ongoing physical abuse of the athletes in the NBA training camps in the Xinjiang region.
