Chen Xingtong's look at his mobile phone in the finals caused heated discussions among the public. She issued a statement through social **, explaining that she wrote down the technical points and precautions in her mobile phone memo before the game, and emphasized that no messages were sent or received during the game. However, this statement was not endorsed by netizens, with many accusing her of violating the rules of the WTT competition and finding her explanation unconvincing.
* Severely criticized her one-sidedly. There is more concern about Chen's attitude, believing that she has not done well in handling the crisis in public relations. Even if what she said was true, even if she only looked at the tactics and precautions that had been laid out before the game, it was already a violation of WTT rules, as if she were cheating on an exam. Therefore, her explanation does not change the facts.
Liu Guoliang is under tremendous pressure. First of all, as the chairman of the WTT Board of Directors, he has important responsibilities;Secondly, as the leader of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, his influence cannot be ignored. Chen's behavior not only violated WTT's fair play principles, but also violated the team's internal regulations. Chen Xingtong will face punishment from the World Table Tennis Federation and the national team, and Liu Guoliang's position will be crucial.
Many netizens have already directly @Liu Guoliang on social **, looking forward to his response.
