Democrats who want control of the Internet just got a preview of the awesome power to suppress dissenting voices they so desperately want. After center Enes Kanter criticized Chinese president Xi Jinping and the country’s brutal treatment of Tibet, the communists banned all Boston Celtics games. I guess democrats kind of did the same thing with the Hunter Biden’s laptop story, but Chinese control is more complete.
Celtics back-up center Kanter, who is originally form Turkey, made this video in solidarity with the people of Tibet:
Dear Brutal Dictator XI JINPING and the Chinese Government
Tibet belongs to the Tibetan people!#FreeTibet pic.twitter.com/To4qWMXK56

“My message for the Chinese government is free Tibet. Tibet belongs to Tibetans. I’m here to add my voice and speak out about what is happening in Tibet. Under the Chinese government’s brutal rule, Tibetan people’s basic rights and freedoms are non-existent,” Kanter started.
“I say, shame on the Chinese government. The Chinese dictatorship is erasing Tibetan identity and culture,” Kanter continued.
“Brutal Dictator of China Xi Jinping, I have a message for you and your henchmen. I will say again, again and again, loud and clear. I hope you hear me. Free Tibet. Free Tibet. Free Tibet,” Kanter concluded.
Kanter wore a Dalai Lama shirt in the video, which he pointed out would be a crime in Tibet.
As you can imagine, this didn’t go over well in communist China. Chinese media company Tencent, the NBA’s rights partner in China, pulled all Celtics games form the Internet and banned any future broadcasts.
Tencent already banned Philadelphia 76ers games to punish team president Daryl Morey tweeted support for Hong Kong 2 years ago. My guess is the NBA is about to crack down on their players and managers for criticizing their master Xi Jinping. The league, like the democrats, are owned by the CCP.
And the CCCP, like the democrats, have a social media rapid response team designed to crush any opposition. Check out these responses to Kanter’s video:
Are u crazy? The games of Celtics or even all nba games might not be available in China because of your words! This will finally cause economic losses and bad effects on YOU and the NBA league! And Tibet is China’s territory!

The fact is that the Chinese central government subsidizes 90% of the Tibetan government’s tax revenue. As a taxpayer, I think this is unfair. There are too many subsidies, and the central government treats Tibet too well. Tibet should bear its own financial expenditure

China’s internal affairs are none of your business

There are literally hundreds of replies like this. If the Chinese people can’t see Boston Celtics games, what are the chances they can see Kanter’s video? As you know, FaceBook, Google, and Twitter allow the CCP to censor anything they want. All of these tweets come from Chinese bots and CCP operatives.
Just last week, the democrats held hearings demanding to regulate social media to supposedly stop the flow of disinformation. They want to create a federal position that would be in charge of what’s allowed on social media, with them in charge of course. What China did to the Celtics is what democrats want to do to conservatives.
