I read this as ESPN in full CYA mode. They don't have billion dollar TV or shoe contracts with China to protect. They see which way the wind's blowing in the US regarding China. ESPN also understands that "we didn't know" won't be accepted as an excuse. They even went as far as a mention of "World War II [Nazi] Germany" in the article. They fully understand just how evil the Chinese Communist Government is.
The NBA knew and kept cashing the checks anyway. Remember that the next time any player or coach gets on their high horse about conditions in the US. They knew!
To quote ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski "Fuck You!"
