I think so. I think that LYB knows that China is in trouble with their up coming juniors. Even though they are good, but not as threatning as BCL, LD, or even Chen Yu when they first came out of the Junior series. BCL despite being a Mr. Runner Up, we was advancing really far into the tournament at an early age. LD won the Korea Open is first year out I think. But the current China Junior/Up coming squad seems to suffering.
The REAL reason is not the flu thingy . Now, looking back at past news, perhaps the REAL reason is for him to make preparation to marry XXF. .
