Letter: America shouldn’t appease China

I would like the NBA to stand up to the Chinese dictatorship, but I am worried that it will back down.

No dictatorship has the right to tell any American how to define freedom of expression. When will this Chinese appeasement end? The federal government, both political parties and Hollywood have all refused to stand up to communist China.

America turned its back on the country of Tibet. It is now the Tibetan region of China. Now, America is turning its back on Hong Kong. Taiwan is next.

Americans need to oppose, not appease, all dictatorships.
