Additionally, the article mentioned Alibaba, China's Amazon+, is corporate sponsor of Saturday's Pac 12-organized UCLA-Georgia Tech. Safe to say the Bruins will be a bit undermanned, but contrary to my initial view (probably wrong!) maybe China won't quickly usher UCLA's sticky-fingered ballers out of the country. From the linked article: "According to standard law, LiAngelo Ball and party could be held for over a month without charges, and if convicted, could spend between three and ten years behind bars. Said a [B]Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman[/B], "[I]China will handle this case in accordance with the law and ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the people involved[/I].” [/QUOTE]
