Well you shouldn't be shocked. This is normal for the chinese system. They do know now that they've got 2 playerslots and then they'll decide who's allowed to play.
The ITTF-nomination is not important in the end.

Isn't the title-holder (Ma Long) automatically invited?
China did better in the Olympics than Germany (in singles and team).
So, why not invite another Chinese player 'due to his performance in the olympics'?
only World champion and the winner of Continent cup can be invited.

Stupid logic. World Number 1 in ranking not invited because he didn't participate in Asian Cup? ahh
It's not that stupid because he can participate but didn't do it. The actual stupid logic is not inviting the previous World Cup winner.
Zhang Jike is going to win this one unless he have "lack of motivation".
