I see that American businesses play double standard here. In the USA, sport teams and entertainment businesses are the loudest when it comes to free speech and civil rights, LGBT rights. But they will bend over for CCP money instead of standing for the same causes. I have yet to see ANY business roll the freedom drum and make a stand about human rights when it comes to the violations in China. It’s sad that a recent South Park episode is exactly the reality here and not a satire.

Sadly it's not a double standard if you define standard as income. In US it brings money to shout with lgbt in china it brings money to squash the shouting.

If you redefine your morals to money it works well. Not sure if that's good but it seems it happened.
