 The (political) situation in China is very different. People are not allowed to travel freely and this of course restricts the 'average' Chinese mahjongplayer as well. Furthermore, even when granted permission, this is not to say that you can actually travel - you may well be stopped while boarding, without any explanation. While this in itself is probably hard for us to understand - and protest this matter if you want, but it won't change a thing - it cannot be blamed on the people and / or on the WMO.Many other things, not in the least communication with China, are difficult to understand or achieve, for several reasons. And while the Dutch have also protested against the way things where going at the time of registration and some Dutch players will be annoyed for not having been called in as substitutes, I do not agree with the harsh words written down here. The Chinese that were in Baden where friendly, 'good sports' and a relief - while we could certainly organize a European Championship without them, I have to say that any Chinese delegation is an enrichment of any tournament. I'm certain that WMO feels disgraced, but I strongly believe they are not to blame. |
