Plus "a statement published on [CCTV Sports'] Sina Weibo account on Tuesday" and the cancellation of NBA's China Games' broadcast [1].
Later, "Geng Shuang, a spokesman for its Foreign Ministry...said in a regular news briefing Tuesday that the NBA 'knows clearly what to say and what to do'" [2].
Spinning this as not coming from Xi's administration is absurd.

From the WSJ article, China has an apology playbook as incidents like this aren't rare. This isn't causing a political crisis like the poster said, and the practice predates Xi's reign.
A Facebook post from someone on the Embassy staff.
>Publicly denouncing the NBA?
From what I've seen, an article in a state run paper.
The embassy event is strange, but I'm pretty sure they routinely publish similar articles in their paper.
I think something is causing the Western media to cover the recent cases in detail, and they write the articles to imply the message came from Chinese leaders.
