6:06 pm
policy analyst at asian study center, what do you make of this? >> i think that china is acting in a way, bullying people across the pacific. we're seeing instances where china is now causing the u.s. and different entities to consider infringing on freedom of speech no matter what nba says, they are infringing on mr. morey's ability to to express his views, this is serious, u.s. standing in favor of democracy and freedom, not in favor of authoritarianism, that we've seen is the way of china, we can't allow china to affect those overarching freedom that americans hold deer. melissa: is it ironic, you look at how businesses are responding in this situation, and really you know microcosm of what has been going on for a long time that people have been ignores,
6:07 pm
companies have knuckled under to demands of china because they are the gatekeepers to so many customers and dollars. but now the president brought it to the attention of americans and they kind of see what is going on. but you know you look at things like you know vans or anyone else who wants to sell there caving to censorship, that has been going on for a long time because american companies want to make money. >> right, i think it is a shame, in any american company or nba or otherwise, capitulates to china demand because it might affect their bottom line, at the end of the day, nba issued in previous instances that its players and various individuals affiliated with the nba have freedom to expression their views. but apparently in this situation, the nba only allows its individuals affiliated with it to expression their views
6:08 pm
freely if it is on views that it thinks are so-called cool. >> but you know, where is -- i guess who are they all responsible to? if you look at a company like google or facebook who knuckled under to censorship in china. when you look at nba, the league is owned by the team owners, don't they have a right to decide, is it worth the pr? you know of the pressing speech that we can make our money or will people really boycott,tionn they make a financial decision. >> of course, companies have freedom of speech, and individuals inside of companies have freedom of day, everyone is beholden to respect when the constitution lays out.
6:09 pm
and so i think at the end of the day, the primary issue that is at root is that china is using its heavy hand to make it so that americans condition enjoy the -- can't enjoy typical liberty our constitution and life here in america guarantees, we can't capitulate to china, considers that, they have over 1 million individuals inside of political reeducation facilities today, christians in china, pastors in china are thrown to prison, individuals who advocate speak out on behave of human rights they don't enjoy freedom of speech, we don't want to bring that way of life here to america. melissa: but hard to think we'll have an impact on when they are doing. we'll see. olivia thank you. >> thank you. melissa: sneak peak at a story that "evening edit" has been following, crisis at border, here to help break it down with new numbers. fox news william lajeunesse.
