Enes Kanter freedom, an activist and former NBA star, joins us to weigh in on China’s threat.
It’s great to have Enes.
ENES KANTER FREEDOM, FORMER NBA START: Thank you so much. That is a great compliment.
BARTIROMO : Thank you so very much for being there.
You have been so courageous in pointing out China’s threat. What do you think of that threat today? What are your top concerns about China? Why did you risk your entire career to educate the rest of the world about China?
Freedom: Unfortunately, none of my colleagues were willing to speak the truth. Every day, millions of people are being tortured and raped in concentration camps.
When I had a conversation about human rights violations with one of my colleagues, I was like “Listen, let’s make this movement!” It wasn’t political at all, it was human rights violations. They claimed that there were shoe deals, endorsement deals and jersey sales.
BARTIROMO: Unbelievable.
FREEDOM: They asked me one question. I said, “Put yourself in their shoes.” What if your mother, your sister, or your daughter were in those concentration camps being tortured and raped daily, would you still choose money and business over morals, values and principles? They would usually leave the room and turn around.
BARTIROMO, You are a great person. Enes was such a courageous man, I will tell you.
Mike Baker, I am concerned about the fact that it isn’t just the concentration camps and the rape of women and girls in them, but also how China behaves globally to everyone else.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Right.
BARTIROMO – Look at what they are doing for America with the surveillance ballon, COVID-19 coverup. What’s more, Enes announced a partnership between the NBA and Ant Group, a Chinese fintech giant.
FREEDOM: Yes, I heard that.
BARTIROMO – I would like to point out that Ant Group’s founder was murdered by the CCP one year ago.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE:
BARTIROMO. The NBA wants to collaborate with Ant Group, making digital collectibles, Enes.
FREEDOM: I mean, it’s not a secret that NBA is pretty much China’s lap dog right now and they’re going to do whatever they can to, you know, strengthen their relationship with the — China and China’s governments. Because they know it won’t affect their pockets, they will discuss all the social injustice problems in America. But as soon as the things that they — they talk about is going to affect their money and business or if anyone talks about it, they’re going to try to do everything they can to silence them. It is unacceptable.
MIKE BAKER (ph): You’re absolutely right when you — I mean, you point out the treatment of the Uyghurs.
FREEDOM: Yes.
BAKER: You speak of the destruction of Hong Kong’s last vestiges democracy.
FREEDOM: Yes.
BAKER: What do you mean by economic espionage? The theft of intellectual property? And the growing aggression in the South Pacific? They are involved in many different aspects.
The NBA acts in a similar way to any other U.S. corporation. Because everyone is chasing the same dollar in China, they’re willing to look the other way.
FREEDOM: Yes.
BAKER: That — that massive market.
FREEDOM: John (ph) was speaking to me. The more I do research, the more it becomes apparent that it isn’t just NBA. Hollywood is your vision. You see the big picture
