    Yes, Anthony must beat JOJ to give INA a chance. But JOJ is not relenting cause he wants DEN to win the cup after so many near-misses in the past.

    Reminds of the British trying to teach India religion by introducing Christianity. When M K Gandhi was asked what he thought of Western Civilization, he quipped, " I think iyt would be a good idea !" To understand what he meant, read here https://apictureofpolitics.wordpress.com/2012/04/24/gandhis-play-on-words/

    I don't read you as claiming the supremacy of Chinese culture. But it's undeniable Chinese civilization is the longest, most enduring, unbroken and remaining surviving one in the world today, what with China on the rise and poised to become the next superpower, that's telling, and speaks volumes. Arguably, China was dominant for 17 out of the last 20 centuries, more so than USA ever was/is. More importantly, China has never felt the need to conquer or rule the world, and has basically been a benign, peace-loving country (the concept of nationhood is a modern development) though not quite internally, esp in the earlier centuries.

    Sorry, I digress.

    still don't get your point...I point out that Chinese fans prefer Denmark basically because they love foreigners who can speak Chinese and my opion is based on my knowledge of Chinese culture. Then you said you didn't agree and you said it was because 'China cannot lose' so I told you not to challenge me to Chinese culture. Why you start to talk about Sun Yat Sen?

    Well China has to change its Communist outlook and learn from the Capitalists to help it to upgrade economically.
    A very demeaning change I would think, but again out of necessity.
    Precisely, if China did not change, she will be dominated by foreign powers for a much longer time.
    But now new realities demand new changes.
    And if the economically transformed China, with such a huge population, continues to exert its power, especially against its smaller neighbours, we are not going to have prolonged peace and stability as what we've enjoyed for such a long time.

    But there's still quite a number of CHN fans who once supported Taufik Hidayat and still thought highly of him - just look at how he's received and treated whenever he's in China, the same goes for LCW and Peter Gade, just to mention a few.

    sorry. but all these talk about Ginting and talent just doesn't make sense.

    Taufik at 14 was a talent. Ginting is not talent.

    I said earlier,Chinese fans supported INA during Taufik Hidayat era;)
    Chinese fans are very easy to understand. They admire the major rivals and they love those who speak Chinese. That's it.

    Well now INA has to win the next match MD2. JOJ was decisive in winning G2 21-12!
