A loss to a Chinese ex-pat table tennis player is not an upset.

Ok, but does anyone believe that Amy Wang, Lily Zhang, and Wu Yue losing to much lower ranked Juan Liu are upsets? Context.

yes but if you use your brain, an upset occurs when: one player who is worse than another, despite what rankings might say, wins

I would call it surprise rather then upset.
The most important thing is player level not their ranking. If you follow TT for longer time you would know that ranking is based on participation and wining ratio. So the players who take part in many tournaments will be higher ranked then the ones who do not participate that much.
You can take many chinese players like Zheng Peifeng, Zhou Qihao, Liu Dingshuo or Yan An - they are all ranked far away from top 20 where their level of play is. At the same time the guy lik Kanak Jha is 27 while his level is closer to 100. So it is not surprise if any of these chinese players beat him.
I hope you get it know.
nother thing is player

It depends on your knowledge of the players. The rankings are a barometer to assess level of play. The rankings can be misleading when participation is not consistent between the data base of players.

I think loopadoop is correct. Upset meaning unhappy is ok if we consider longman dictionary. So yes he can be upset when his USA players loose, simply he is sad. But I would never call it surprise.

Kanak plays in Division 1 Bundesliga. I think while he isn't 27 in the world, he is clearly a strong player who has a good record vs many good players players. His game is not flashy so his strengths are often ignored.

My opinion, he plays conservative to start matches vs an unfamiliar player, if that player gets hot and ahead, Jha has trouble overcoming the deficit sometimes.
