American professional basketball NBA superstar “LeBron James” James. The Associated Press’s official media of the Communist Party of China, People’s Daily, published a signed article on the 8th that claimed to be the NBA superstar “Jack James” (LeBron James). But US media quoted two sources close to James today to confirm that James did not contribute to the People’s Daily, which was just the content of his interview with Chinese media when he visited Shanghai and Chengdu last week.
The Athletic, a US sports news website, reported today that James’s article for a Chinese-controlled daily newspaper (referring to the People’s Daily) has sparked criticism in the United States and Hong Kong.
The report said that although the article was signed by James, two sources close to James confirmed that James did not contribute to the People’s Daily, but accepted the content of a collective media interview in the two Chinese cities he visited (Shanghai and Chengdu).
The two sources said that the content about James in this “article” of the People’s Daily is accurate, but it is not unique to any news media, nor is it submitted to anyone in the form of prose or commentary articles.
According to three Chinese translators of “Athlete”, this signed article, known as James, calls James the “author”, but also mentions that James was interviewed by a reporter from the People’s Daily and edited and compiled by the People’s Daily. As for the content, it is indeed what James published in public and collective occasions during his time in Shanghai and Chengdu, and published in Chinese.
On the 8th, the People’s Daily published an article titled “Basketball is a bridge connecting each other” on the 15th edition, claiming that this article is “an article by LeBron James, a member of the Los Angeles Lakers of the American Basketball Team.” At the end of the article, it was mentioned that it was “an interview and compiled by the People’s Daily, reporter Wang Liang.”
In the article, James said, “I am deeply moved by the enthusiasm and friendship of Chinese friends. What I can do is to do my best in every game and express my gratitude to everyone”; “Basketball is not only a sport, but also a bridge connecting each other, and love flows in our hearts”; “Seeing that there are so many young people who love basketball in China, I hope I can also contribute to the development of Chinese basketball. China’s basketball atmosphere has always been surprising.”
