The 10-time All-Star, who is at the center of a trade stand-off with the 76ers, is visiting the Far East during the offseason.
On Tuesday, the 33-year-old promoted his J-Harden wine on a livestream on Douyin, China’s equivalent of TikTok.
The stream was hosted by internet celebrity Crazy Brother Yang and reportedly attracted more than 15million viewers.
Harden was initially asked how many bottles he would typically sell in a day. ‘A few cases,’ the 33-year-old said.

Ealrier on his trip Harden branded 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey a ‘liar’
When another round of sales saw another 6,000 bottles flogged in a matter of moments, Harden performed a cartwheel.
Earlier on the trip to China, Harden sensationally branded 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey a ‘liar’ and vowed never to be work for the same organization as him again as the guard’s attempt to leave Philadelphia rumbles on.
Harden has been eyeing a move to the Clippers during this offseason after only 18 months with the Sixers.
Last week, though, it emerged that the team had ended trade talks involving Harden after failing to strike a deal with the Clippers.
‘Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of,’ he said.
