On September 15, Beijing time, the last day of the WTT Macau Championships, however, the WTT World Table Tennis Federation rushed to the hot search and was boycotted by Chinese fans.
Tickets for the WTT Fukuoka Finals have already begun to be sold, but what is surprising is that the ticket sales date is 10 am on September 18, and the match is played in Fukuoka, Japan, and the ticket sales time is particularly speechless, combined, Chinese fans are greatly hurt.
On the afternoon of September 15, WTT officially apologized on the whole network, not only on the Internet, but also on a domestic social media platform. WTT explained that the international competition department and foreign officials did not know the background of the date, which caused protests from Chinese fans, and WTT also said that "WTT has zero tolerance for any behavior that hurts the feelings of the Chinese people, and has suspended ticket sales for the Fukuoka Finals, and the new ticket release date will be announced separately after rectification."
It is predictable that although WTT has apologized, it is too late, the foreign head of the international competition department has done his job at WTT, he will definitely be fired, Liu Guoliang is the chairman of the WTT World Table Tennis Federation Board of Directors, he will definitely not tolerate such a mistake. Moreover, Liu Guoliang himself has encountered relatively big trouble, as the leader of WTT, the WTT World Table Tennis Federation has made a mistake of principle, seriously hurt the feelings of Chinese fans, and violated China's bottom line.
WTT's operation is to eat and smash the pot, the reason why this game has attracted the attention of fans, the commercial value is huge, most of the contributions come from Chinese players, WTT's development has been getting better and better in recent years, but I didn't expect it to hurt Chinese fans now, which makes people angry. Next, Liu Guoliang may also make a public statement, and he also expects that the national table tennis generals will speak out and pressure WTT to give Chinese fans an explanation and results!
