Tencent Holdings live-streamed two National Basketball Association (NBA) games played outside of China on Monday, even as the nation’s top broadcaster shuns the league because of a controversy around Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement.
The Chinese social media giant aired a game between the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors and another between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Minnesota Timberwolves, according to its official programme. That’s despite the WeChat operator freezing broadcasts of two pre-season games played in China. China Central Television announced its boycott around the same time and has so far not resumed televising.
