This photo taken on July 30, 2023 shows players competing during an invitational game of the grassroots basketball competition CunBA in Taipan village, Taijiang county, in southwestern China's Guizhou province. Athletes in the "CunBA" -- with "cun" meaning village in Chinese -- are all amateurs, and the prizes are simple platters of roast meat. But it's the pure electricity of the games that keeps fans and players hooked, rising in recent years from a humble local tradition into a viral hit and staple of Beijing's propaganda machine.
