The owner of Washington's NBA and NHL teams received a letter from the chair of the U.S. House Select Committee on China asking him to cut ties with Alibaba, the Chinese tech giant that has gone to court to dispute the Pentagon's recent designation of the corporation as a “Chinese military company.”
“I would appreciate your confirmation that MSE will discontinue or has already discontinued any ongoing business relationship with Alibaba and its affiliates,” Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Mich., wrote to Ted Leonsis, whose company, Monumental Sports & Entertainment, owns the Washington Wizards and Capitals.
