The Chinese flag was there the first day but the taiwanese direction decided to remove it. The hotel's restaurant's chef first reported it as a mistake since 60-70% of the hotel's customers are Chinese nationals (all year long), but the top management just replied him that's none of his business.
A lot of Parisian 华侨华裔 go there for events.
A perfect example of economic suicide.

Interesting -and Togo and the Russo -Japanese war is a favourite reading material of mine and although Togo never set up all the horrible organized brutalites like WW2 like you mentioned-he also IIRC opened fire on Chinese forces without a declaration of war-typically Japanese-and the Chinese civilians were both brutalized by Russian and Japanese forces with whole villages/towns subjected to starvation,looting murder and rape.And his contempt and hatred of Chinese resulted in massacres of Chinese sailors/soldiers as commonplace.CGTN had a great series called the "Scar at Lushun".BTW if Ma Long had married her the stresses/strains on their relationship would destroy him-will they raise their kids as Chinese or Japanese?will he adopt a Japanese name and play for Japan?I think Ma Long knows this and carefully did not become entangled with her and thus did not give the victory to Japan. I for one think it's deliberate-the Japanese knows which buttons to push-part of the US led 500 millionUSD antiChina psyops-what next ?Japanese TT players go visit ancestral home of Dr.Shiro Ishii of Unit 731 fame? and pray?-heard the ramen noodles and tankatsu pork is really good there.Remember the Chinese now unlike 1895-1905 are way too aware and way too powerful to push around,kill indiscriminately(so sorry accident) Nie Er-"drowned" while swimming Fujisawa Japan etc-Also I have a gut feeling she's has some/lots of training by Jpanese-US government intelligence agency-good looking/speaks fluent Chinese/athletic/has lots of personal/professional Chinese ties-So why not seduce away,corrupt and deceive?

Curious as to how exactly the French screwed this up. I assume that the medals used to be electro-plated, and I don't think that's something beyond the capabilities of the French. What went wrong?

I think it's incredibly obvious that if she had married Ma Long, their kids would be raised Chinese. She's his fangirl; how's she going to ragdoll him like that? But Ma Long supposedly never considered her because he was in a serious relationship leading to marriage, not for political reasons. And while many Japanese do these things deliberately, Kasumi would be destroying her own value to upset the Chinese. After her retirement, she will be forgotten in time... unless she continues to serve as a bridge between Chinese and Japanese table tennis bringing exciting interviews and collaborations. Without this ability, she will fade away rather quickly and probably end up running a small local ping pong gym in Japan.
Hats off to them for sticking to their guns. What would have really been bad is if they put up that Chinese flag and made millions off of it while hating us anyway. They should not be pressured to display any flag they don't believe in so they can put their true selves on display and the customers can decide if we wish to patronize such a business based on an accurate image of who they are.

I mean, her teeth isn't as crooked as most Japanese women but her face is not symmetrical and her eyes are very plain. Overall barely above average by East Asian standards.
Looking at the 20th century, Japan stands out for inflicting immense cruelty and suffering on Chinese and many other Asians (as well as Europeans and Americans, particularly POWs). However if you look at the 19th century in isolation, Japan didn't really act in a way that was outside the norm for imperial powers of the time. The two biggest perpetrators of crimes and atrocities against the Chinese people during the 19th century was Great Britain and Russia, Japan sits at a distant third, barely edging out the French. During the intervention of the 8 nation alliance, Japan was considered to be the most well behaved and disciplined. In my view, visiting a shrine for a 19th century Japanese war hero should not be made into all that big of a deal. Japan winning the Russo-Japanese war was actually good for China, as otherwise Russia could have moved in and taken all of Manchuria.

CAS has published its in the Chiles/Bărbosu case, alongside a that summarises the proceedings.
Beyond the operative decision to invalidate the inquiry that led to Chiles' adjusted score, the major finding is that FIG (the International Gymnastics Federation) fucked up by apparently having no process to validate or reject the timeliness of inquiries according to their own specified rules. FIG also appears to have rejected a conciliation process that could potentially have led to the awarding of shared medals.
There is a further wrinkle in that the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee apparently did not receive the relevant case files, requests for submissions, etc. in a timely fashion and ultimately did not attend the hearing (though USA Gymnastics was well represented). The Americans have now latched onto this as evidence of a great injustice.

Good points and I really don't know too much at all about them-except Ma is a great player as for her one word...."kamikaze"-"as long as she destroys Ma ,who cares -she'll be treated like a hero in Japan with sideways snickering at all the Chinese women for not keeping their man .Now hopefully she'll fade away into spinsterhood and obscurity.BTW why would any tennis player/athlete visits these shrine and be photographed praying for the past Nippon glories-they're not history buffs I'll guarantee that.
Great points as for the list of tormentors of China-all 8 of these countries are right up there(IIRC even f#cking Italy !!) ,from Opium wars to Rape of Nanking-Century of Shame/humiliation indeed.But Japan being so close geographically and culturally anytime the dynasties became weak-they will raid and attack China-it's predictable and guaranteed
