Chinese Party bosses and the people of the People's Republic know the salad days of the China-USA relationship are done, over and past. Now it's strictly bread and water for 'em until the CCP Dictator-Tyrants in Beijing put into law their verbal trade agreements.
This is from the Hong Kong Free Press as quoted below:
China's thousand years old arrogance is on full display as the Boys of the Party lecture, scold and try to menace those who will not kowtow to 'em according to Chinese traditions and customs. In Beijing it's the Chinese who are always right and moral and the world that's always wrong and in for the bad time.
NBA’s commissioner ‘will receive retribution sooner or later’ for defaming China, state media reports
Punishment will be meted out “sooner or later” to the NBA’s commissioner for defaming China, state television said, as Beijing and the basketball league continue to grapple publicly.
NBA commissioner, Adam Silver said earlier the institution would not apologise for the tweet and supported freedom of expression in American basketball.
On Thursday, Silver said the Chinese government had demanded Morey be sacked, which Beijing denied. Chinese state television, CCTV, in turn accused Silver of “inventing lies to dirty China”. “Once a person’s morality goes wrong, he will receive retribution sooner or later,” it wrote in a commentary on its website Friday night.
Silver “doesn’t hold back from moulding himself an image as a defender of the freedom of expression”, it added.
The backlash in China against Morey’s comments has cast a cloud over the NBA’s lucrative broadcasting, merchandising and sponsorship interests in the country, where it has legions of fans. By defending Morey, the boss of the NBA had “crossed the bottom line by showing a lack of respect to Chinese”, CCTV wrote.
“But he had to make false declarations as well to please certain elected American officials.”

Here's what's really got their attention in Beijing:
These data are always "man-made" anyhow as actual growth is between 2% and 4% while only continuing to decline. Nomura, Lombard, Capital Economics and several investment houses argue these data rather than accept the man made data of the CCP Boys in Beijing. The so called trade war which is in fact an economic war China is losing has knocked back their economy to before Xi Jinping took full power in 2013. Capital continues to flee China.
