China Smash 2026, Beijing, 10/1-11

I wonder what punishments these Chinese Taipei juniors will get. It’s going to make LYJ and the coach look bad now as people will think they were the ones that planned for the flashes to happen

Yeah, it's definitely a bad look and would have been even worse had Matsushima lost. If it were up to me, I would ban them from being in the stands in the future.

Additionally, anyone in the Chinese media as well as LYJ's agent, who falsely accused Matsushima of making it up to gain an advantage, should issue an apology.

The flash issue keeps happening at multiple tournaments, and WTT/ITTF really should do something about it.

I wonder what LYJ's reaction is to all of this. His own agent accused Matsushima of using dirty tactics, when in fact it was his own teammates that caused the issue.
