They already caved when they opened that "training center" in the heart of all the concentration camps. Hell, I'd say they caved back in the Stern era when the NBA started getting the influx of that chinese money when Yao was playing. A good chunk of the increase in revenue has come solely from the asian market.
It's okay for players, coaches etc to criticize the US. Criticize China and you're going to be blackballed.
I would expect for Morey to lose his job something around all star break and then he's out of the league for good.
