They tried. Actually it was the Chinese Basketball Association. They asked for 50%, but it never happened. Yao paid about 6, 7million to his old Shanghai team (kinda like a buy-out) and that is it.

Wow ... Wizards and Houston have the worst luck ever. All those millions of Chinese fans must be really frustrated.

that's strange. I am from China. When I was a student in UCSD, I had to pay TAX though my monthly income was only $1000. The tax treaty only gives you first $5000 tax free for J and F visa.

I paid more money to US goverment than the total of my bank savings plus what I ever give to my parents and my son... :banghead:

It's a mule kick to the face for Houston. Me too, Rockets are my team

New Coach, new players, good rookies, and a 12 game win streak. ....damn
