		</div><p>Chinese state broadcaster CCTV will no longer air NBA pre-season games set in China after Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted an image that supported anti-government demonstrations in Hong Kong.</p>
<p>CCTV also said on Tuesday in a statement posted to the official social media account of its sports channel that it is reviewing all its co-operation and exchanges involving the NBA.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">1/ I did not intend my tweet to cause any offense to Rockets fans and friends of mine in China. I was merely voicing one thought, based on one interpretation, of one complicated event. I have had a lot of opportunity since that tweet to hear and consider other perspectives.</p>
<p>&mdash; Daryl Morey (@dmorey) <a href="https://twitter.com/dmorey/status/1181000808399114240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 7, 2019</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The statement indicated the decision followed remarks made by NBA commissioner Adam Silver in Tokyo.</p>
<p>Mr Silver said in an interview with Kyodo News that the NBA supports Mr Morey.</p>
<p>Mr Morey’s tweet has provoked a wave of censure from Chinese companies, including a major sports merchandise retailer and news site that have halted its partnerships with the Rockets.</p>
