  1. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    They were all deleted with the message that it was deleted "according to relevant laws, regulations and policies." Also, Wang Nan has just posted in support of LGL as well.
  2. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    No idea why I wrote earthquake, sorry, I meant landslide.
  3. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    ZJK's post is a reblog about the earthquake in Sichuan. He wrote (rough translation): Natural disasters are ruthless, but people are warm/loving. Hope that more people survive, pray for safety/peace. Some people are reading this as a message about the protest situation as well, but idk
  4. China Open 2017

    Post-match interview FZD said that Kizukuri played well and was the greater threat, and that many of his shots put pressure on him and XX during the match. I'd certainly like to believe that they lost fair and square, since faking a loss seems disrespectful to their opponents.
  5. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    According to people selling celebs' flight information, everyone flies from Chengdu to Beijing today.
  6. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    It may come down to how much the government want's gold, whether or not it's important enough to forgive the team for seriously embarrassing them on a international scale (although only a table tennis international). On one hand, the government's fervor for winning gold seems much less than...
  7. China Open 2017

    If so, sad for Harimoto and Kizukiri, since their hug and excitement after winning was very genuine. Fans are arguing that they both seemed very normal after the match though, and XX even said he would seriously prepare/look at his match later against Harimoto during the post-match interview...
  8. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    Sorry, didn't mean to imply that; under normal circumstances, I'm not surprised when he crops up on the searches list because he really is popular. I just meant that it's a little unexpected for Sina to not block his name like they did with everyone else, since in the public's eyes he's part of...
  9. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    Ah, I see I see. I agree, can't say I'm ever very impressed with how the government chooses to deal with things lol, but I guess I'm used to it. Seems to happen so often it's pointless to care, but it must be different when it happens to yourself and your team/friends. I respect the team's...
  10. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    Sina definitely blocked a ton of searches last night (something like 13 or 17 out of 50?) because they all disappeared at the exact same time as they started deleting the protest weibos, but ZJK + WZRY was up on the lists prior to 19:00 when the protests weibos started. Surprised they didn't...
  11. China Open 2017

    A little disappointed in FZD and XX for losing the doubles match and then forfeiting as protest for LGL. Seems unfair on the young Japanese doubles team. Winning the Chinese team in any of the events is usually supposed to be an exciting thing to celebrate, but regardless of whether FZD/XX lost...
  12. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    Absolutely, tons of rumors flying, always a lot of mudslinging between the fans of the top players. I used to dismiss them immediately because it just seemed like a bunch of angry haters trashing everyone they could, but in the past months there have been several accounts in which the naysayers...
  13. BREAKING: Ma Long & Fan Zhendong boycott CHINA OPEN!

    I frequent the Chinese forums and Weibo; some stuff I think that might contribute to the conversation: ON XIAOZHAN & HIS STUDENTS Back when Xiao Zhan got moved to coach the women's team there was talk of him losing a power struggle against Qin Zhijian, who is thought to have been backed by Liu...
  14. Swedish Open 2016

    Zhang Jike pulled out of the Austrian and Swedish Opens because of a twisted ankle, while the rest of China's top players are playing in the China Super League. The top four all attended 5 or 6 Supers, so they have indeed done enough tournaments to enter the grand finals As for the voting, I...
