In 2016, the NBA canceled the venue for their all star game in Charlotte, N.C. because of the controversial "Bathroom Bill" that prevented males dressed like females from using school restrooms.  But less than two weeks after that action, the league played an exhibition game in China, which not only discriminates against LGBTQ citizens, but has a horrible human rights record overall.

But there was no P.R. value in virtue-signaling over China.  So the NBA chose to ignore China's miserable human rights and promote its game.

Now the NBA is running a training center in Xinjiang Province in China – right in the middle of Muslim concentration camps, where more than a million people are being held to be "re-educated."

Slate:

In the northwestern Chinese region of Xinjiang, Chinese authorities are holding roughly a million Muslims in what government propaganda creepily calls "free hospital treatment for the masses with sick thinking" – in other words, concentration camps.  Because of the difficulties of visiting the camps, and because Beijing downplays their existence, firsthand information is sparse.  However, satellite photos, innovative research on government procurement bids, and excellent reporting by foreign journalists prove their existence.  Some inmates are tortured.  Others are forced to sit for hours singing songs praising the ruling Chinese Communist Party.
