Enes Kanter Freedom is prepared to visit China, but only if he can see 'the real China'
CNN
NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom says he would accept a visit to China -- as long as he gets to see "the real China," rather than "propaganda."
On Monday, at a press conference in Beijing, former NBA player Yao Ming had been asked about Freedom's recent activism. Yao, now president of the state-affiliated Chinese Basketball Association, responded: "If there is an opportunity, I would like to invite him to visit China ...Then he may have a more comprehensive understanding of us."
Freedom -- the Boston Celtics center who officially changed his last name in November -- is outspoken about human rights and has used his social media presence to criticize China's treatment of the Uyghur community, among a number of other social issues.
