B. A. But they came too late to prevent sponsors like the Sportswear Company laning and shanghai based s. P. D. Bank from cutting ties with the rockets chinas state broadcaster has announced it will no longer show rockets games and the Chinese Basketball Association says its ending its relationship with the club so im sure the Houston Rockets are largely responsible for chinas interest in the sport which took a large stride forward when they signed local boy missing in 2002 now the market that is worth billions to the n. B. A. Last season more than half a 1000000000 chinese fans watched n. B. A.

B. A. Hall of fames obviously there was a lot of chinese interest in him and thats in jewett even after his retirement Houston Rockets have china nights often coinciding with the Chinese New Year sometimes they want to show chinese lettering chinese logos on it such is that link with china now to say how damaging this is the n.

Silence of the Chinese Markets and that is unfortunate given the fact that china interesting enough is really aiming to be a really big player in the world of sports you have the Olympic Games youve got players theyre moving their big transfer they have a big big money the link between money and sports in china seems to be something worth watching about india china is a huge market for sports organizations whether youre a sports team you want to go on tour in china youre opening up offices local offices in the country or youre a sports federations wanting to host an event that now its a market that is growing in terms of the t.

And for more lets cross over now to our correspondent in singapore andrei i hang out tell me whats china playing as. They want to go now china is very protective of its Financial Systems as it is with Everything Else that goes behind closed doors and that includes the subsidies which is a very trump trump target for the Financial System in china is something that will not be reformed unless they themselves come up with the solution but theres also the impeachment inquiry which it feels can play into their caught somehow now how is that going to help end a protracted terrified. Well china is seeing the impeachment inquiry as an opportunity for them to muscle in on trump and get what they believe should be a 100 percent for us deal and also if they also see this as a weakening of trumps position as president if not if not that then a distraction now according to a china expert their calculation is that trump needs a win and is willing to do whatever he can any compromises possible on substance in order to achieve that win and china also has that crisis in hong kong that was featured as well earlier that wont just doesnt seem to go away but that at the same time chinese chinese officials believe that they can hand its not the whole comprise is not as unmanageable as the impeachment inquiry and that is theyre trying for themselves if you can pardon the pun.
