Revealed: Major NBA brands linked to forced labor in China

The article reveals that major NBA brands, including Li-Ning, Anta, and 361 Degrees, are linked to facilities associated with the oppression of the Uyghur minority in China. The controversy surrounding this issue was highlighted when Enes Kanter Freedom, a Boston Celtics player, wore shoes with the slogan "Free Uyghur" during a game, leading to the cancellation of all Celtics games in China for the rest of the year. The NBA reportedly became "really angry" at Kanter Freedom for his stance. The article also suggests that Nike's supply chain may be tainted by the use of forced labor. The story was co-published with the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, indicating the credibility and importance of the investigation.
