Ye Yitian's disqualification incident continued to ignite, and the vice chairman of the Chinese Taipei Table Tennis Association resolutely did not apologize and blew up the outside world

17-year-old Chinese Taipei Zhiyuan Table Tennis Hall teenager Ye Yitian recently received an invitation to participate in the WTT US Grand Slam, but the Chinese Taipei Table Tennis Association rejected Ye Yitian's qualification to WTT on the grounds that the event was too close to the date of the Asian Junior Championships at the end of June and might not be able to participate, causing an uproar in public opinion. Zheng Shizhong, director of sports in Taiwan, China, strongly demanded that the Table Tennis Association come forward to apologize on the 2nd, and named Yang Zhengxiong, vice chairman of the Table Tennis Association, to think carefully. In response, Yang Zhengxiong responded, but still insisted on not apologizing!

WTT recently announced the list of participants in the US Grand Slam in July, and Ye Yitian was originally invited to participate, but because the date of the Grand Slam and the Asian Youth Championships held at the end of June is close, the Table Tennis Association directly helped Ye Yitian refuse the WTT invitation without the consent of the players, causing controversy. The Sports Department issued a heavy penalty on the 1st, in addition to asking the Table Tennis Association to apologize publicly, and on the 2nd, it also sent a letter to the Table Tennis Association to suspend all subsidies, demanding that it be improved within a time limit, otherwise the Secretary-General will be removed in accordance with the law.

Sports Director Zheng Shizhong said in an interview on the 2nd that the Table Tennis Association should apologize within 1 day, "It is so difficult for a table tennis player to ask for an apology from the secretary general? Is it so difficult? He also said that he had never met an association, and under the patient reminder of the government, he was still unwilling to accept the player-centered thinking and still unwilling to admit his mistakes, "If there are no players, there is no need for these associations to exist, because the existence of these associations is to serve the players." Zheng Shizhong even named Yang Zhengxiong, vice chairman of the Table Tennis Association, "I hope you will think seriously about where you want to take the Table Tennis Association."

However, the Table Tennis Association only issued a brief statement through the official website of the association on the afternoon of the 2nd, and there was no intention of apologizing at all, "Regarding the cancellation of Ye Yitian's participation in the American Grand Slam, the Association should modestly review the criticism and advice from all walks of life." The Interim Council and the Selection and Training Committee will be convened at the same time in the near future, and the conclusions of the meeting will be presented to the Director General of Sports and explained to the public. ”
