This got no traction but I completely support this. China is feeling the pressure, they put out some cheesy video where the date is mentioned 3 or 4 times. WTA did pull the events and this will cost China both money and prestige.

We’re going to see more of this with China’s economic and political muscle expanding. From Americans (Lebron) not speaking up because they don’t want to lose market share, to currency, to eventually, Taiwan. However much change has taken place, they’re still an authoritarian country.
