Maintaining competitive status and responding to new challenges
For the Chinese table tennis team, maintaining its leading position in the world is not only relying on existing achievements and technologies, but also constantly facing and overcoming new challenges. At the technical level, as the tactics of international opponents continue to evolve, the Chinese team must continue to innovate its own training methods and game strategies.

The future of the Chinese table tennis team depends to a large extent on the effectiveness of the youth training system and its exchanges and cooperation with the international table tennis community. The youth training system should not only be in line with international standards in terms of technical training, but also pay attention to the all-round development of players, including the cultivation of physical, psychological and tactical intelligence. In addition, it is an important means to enhance the contact and run-in between young Chinese players and the international top level through international friendly matches and exchange camps.
