It's certainly not great optics when they keep promoting Zverev as much as they are (and the ATP has treated Basilashvili with kid gloves and his ex-wife actually charged him with domestic abuse). I don't think that court case has even taken place yet due to COVID-19, meanwhile Basilashvili much like Zverev has been able to continue playing on the tour.
It would certainly send a strong message if the ATP joined the WTA in suspending all tournament play in China. Based on recent history however, I doubt that happens.
