"I know there are a lot of rumors, but I don't think I have time to clarify the rumors one by one," Yao, 33 Air Vapormax For Sale , told journalists on Sunday in Beijing, where he was attending a graduation ceremony at a basketball school named after him. "Nowadays, sports are globalized, and anything is possible, but so far, there is nothing substantial."

"China is just basketball crazy," David Shoemaker, the chief executive officer of the NBA in China, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Sunday in Beijing. The 70 million NBA fans and followers of social media in China have "a voracious appetite to consume everything about the NBA whether it's to buy jerseys or to get emoticons for their smartphones," he said.


The association started building a 12,000-square-meter NBA center on the outskirts of Beijing this year. "We're trying to bring all of that excitement that NBA has to offer into a brick-and-mortar establishment," Shoemaker said.

KIRYANDONGO, Uganda, March 20 (Xinhua) -- Hilda Wanjiru is a mother of seven, living in a squalid conditions in the Midwestern Ugandan district of Kiryandongo.


Despite living eight years far away from home Nike Vapormax Sale , relatives and loved ones, Wanjiru, a Kenyan refugee, vows not to return home although authorities have persuaded her and 500 others to go.


Wanjiru and some 2,000 Kenyan refugees fled to neighboring Uganda in the wake of the 20072008 post-election violence.


Although a larger number of the refugees have gone back home, some 500 are still held up here at Kiryandogo Refugee Settlement, citing tribal rifts and land wrangles.


"Life is hard here but we are quite happy and feel safe compared back home. I can't risk my life and the children. We still have serious tribal conflicts and land wrangles that are yet to be resolved in Kenya Nike Vapormax Mens ," said Wanjiru.


After deep thought, Wanjiru, just like other Kenyan refugees here, argues that the land question is critical to their going back.


"We shall continue to struggle with life here. We don't have land back home for resettlement and don't have money to buy it," she said.


Facing the burden of hosting an increasing number of refugees, Uganda now argues that all Kenyan refugees must return home as the conditions there are favorable.


Uganda is host to refugees from neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan Nike Vapormax Womens , Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Eritrea, among others.


"They have no reason to continue staying here. We want our brothers and sisters from Kenya to go back home and engage in productive activity," David Kazungu, Commissioner for Refugees in the Office of the Prime Minister, has said.


The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) last year in May voluntarily repatriated at least 1 Nike Vapormax Shoes ,500 Kenyan refugees who had been staying at the Settlement for about nine years.


The repatriation followed the March 30, 2015 tripartite agreement reached between Uganda, Kenya and UNHCR to resettle the refugees.


Uganda has now reduced relief support to the Kenyan refugees, focusing now on new entrants. This move has left the Kenya refugees crying foul.


"Now days we (Kenyan refugees) don't get anything (relief assistance) from government and UNHCR. They cut and stopped giving us assistance and relief food after five years. We have to struggle to live and survive on our own," said Wanjiru.


They now have to engage in petty businesses in order for them to survive. Wanjiru's husband has to look for casual labor jobs to get money to support the family.


For Wanjiru, she deals in vegetables which she buys from the locals and sells them to other refugees.
