[@leott6831]

Although the ban is a bit hard, i think China is doing a good job with their players; they are much more respectful than many europeans like Moregard, and the change in Wang Chuqin behavior is a proof. I´m pretty sure LJK will change this behavior when the ban is over.

A world where sports competitors fight, argue with umpires and destroy property table tennis is refreshing to watch especially Asian sportsmanship. The Europeans at times cross that line of negativity but not as a trend. CTA have invested in these talents in their development and expect some degree of positive representation. It's part of their culture to always be under control in victory and in defeat. Westerners believe in bragadocious and ridicule in competitions. Therefore the concept of being humble is low on the list of aspired behavior. I wasn't aware of Wang Cousin past behavior shortcomings and thought that this guy has a great attitude even after talk was he might be benched for losing to Harimoto. The lost by Fan to Harimoto might have changed the perspective of that lost since number 1 had fallen. He lost at the China national games he didn't pout or show any unsportsmanlike attitude. China the most dominant compared to any sport has the correct formula. So any actions they take is for the collective good. Remember they are a socialist state.

[@meklon5]

He was punished because he lost to westerners several times lately. That's as simple as true. As Chinese player you can do a lot when winning against non-Chinese but as soon as you lose matches versus non-Chinese fun is over.

[@syzygy6769]

Wang Chuqing did not lose to a foreigner when he was banned for bad behaviour toward another Chinese player. In fact, he was sent home immediately and had to forfeit the rest of the competition, causing his doubles partners to forfeit as well. That was 3 possible finals China gave up to show it regarded good behaviour more important than winning. Similarly, Zhou Yu and Fang bo were banned for misbehaviour during domestic competitions, with many people sympathetic to Fang's frustration. Poor competitions against foreigners may get reconsideration of assignment but not banning, Lin Gaoyuan has lost to foreigners, most recently to Harimoto from a winning position, but he took the challenge during the Chinese Nationals to prove himself by defeating Fan Zhendong after losing two games in the match. Competition for assignments is fierce within CNT and players have to prove their worth in more ways than one.

I have seen some matches where it was blatantly obvious they were trying to irritate their opponents by doing that. Is that sportsmanlike? Anyway, whatever.

[@shogrran]

You seldom hear Chinese players with "scandals or stories". Or at least not broadcasted or discussed widely. He however - got two bad stories linked to him in close succession. That's stark contrast to other players with zero incidents. Hence that may have added to the gravity of the punishment. ZJK destroyed his shirt and the barriers but that celebration didn't involve his private parts. Ma long put his racket to the side of his shorts and not directly above his dick. I doubt the ones commenting here that don't have an issue with the celebration even plays table tennis. Jingkun put the handle of his blade on his dick - in my brain that connects to his hand holding that same handle -- the same hand that players use to shake hands with the opponent after winning or losing a match. Yes he didn't use his right hand to hold the handle again after the celebration but still it's not a good "reminder" that you use the same hands. You just don't do gestures that involve your private parts. We're civilized people living in 2022.

Put's the racket in his pants and puckers his lips...oh wow! As an amateur player I am more annoyed with the Screamamotos and Chooers of our sport and I would even interpret LKJs gesture as a kind of relief to have won the match.
