The Asian Games begin tomorrow (except for men's soccer, which has already begun.) There are threads in the Asian and Women's (National Teams) forums for the Men's and Women's tournaments. For anyone wishing to post results and discuss other sports, this is the place for it. It will be interesting to see how Chinese Taipei does this time around. I think 79 was the medal total last time, the most since Chinese Taipei re-entered the Asian Games in 1980 in Beijing. A sixth place overall finish was the second best in the history of the island, and best since the 1960s, when it was competing as the Republic of China. Let the games begin. The largest multi-sports event in the world after the Olympics themselves.
Men's Basketball Prelims I made a mistake. Men's basketball prelims have begun. China 78 Kuwait 45 - China outscored Kuwait 24-6 in the 2nd quarter to pull away. Philippines 81 United Arab Emirates 56 - The Philippines broke a 19-19 tie at the end of 1 with a 28-9 pasting of the UAE in the 2nd quarter. Qatar 58 Kazakhstan 57 - 12-7 3rd quarter got Qatar back into the game after going down at half time. South Korea 145 Mongolia 65 - 76-27 halftime lead for Korea as they cruise, scoring at least 29 points in each quarter. Good first day for Pacific Asia, not such a great day for the Middle East.
It actually isn't ok to say Taiwan. Even here, I haven't seen it called Taiwan during the Asian games. On both television and TV, it is either called Zhonghua or Zhonghua Taibei (Chinese team or Chinese Taipei). The area under the control of the ROC doesn't only include Taiwan Province, but parts of Fujian Province.
More Basketball Results Hong Kong, China 77 Kuwait 57 - Hong Kong took a 39-26 halftime lead to cruise to the victory. Chinese Taipei 71 Qatar 61 - a 21-14 3rd quarter gave CT a lead that it would not relinquish. This caps a double-header of victories by Chinese teams and leaves the Pacific region still undefeated in basketball.
It seems like China is cleaning up at the Asian games. China has 36 gold medals to Japan's 13, South Korea's 10. North Korea has 3 and Kazakstan has 2 to round out the top five. China has more golds than all of the other countries put together so far.
I love how you call my post retarded, but you didn't refute a single point I made. I happen to live in Taiwan and what I said in that post is based on what I have observed here.
The offshore islands under the control of the ROC are formally part of Fujian Province. If you go there, you will even see Fujian Sheng on the car tags (like you see Taiwan Sheng on the island of Taiwan - except for Taibei and Gaoxiong cities).

I just saw the South Korea's Asian game official website calls it CHINESE TAIPEI. I assumed the SK belong to the civilized world.
Are you calling Taiwan uncivilized? I have only seen one newspaper so far that uses Taiwan to describe the team competing at the Asian Games, and it is the most pro-separatist paper I have seen here yet. It is called the Republic of China, not the Republic of Taiwan.

No, just the barbarian monster to its west. Whose only claim to global fame is that there are 1.5 billion of them.
No, Taiwan is known as "Dae-man" in Korean which is a literal translation for "Taiwan." We don't call it "Jung-guk Taibei" or some crap which would mean Chiense Taipei. W'ere only calling it Chinese Taipei otherwise the Communist monsters who should have become extinct like the Soviet Union would start crying and bitching and moaning like they do when they get mad. DEMOCRACY FOR CHINA. FREE FALUN GONG.
No, not "Jung-guk Taibei" It is "Zhong Guo Tai Bei" or "Jung Kwok Toi Bak". which mean Chinese Taipei. Chachi_tiny certainly has been brainwashed by the western media. He doesn't know shi+ about Fa Lun Gong. Do some research before you bitching here.
Chachi King. I am in Taiwan. Here, it is officially called the Republic of China and the international sports teams are called Chinese Taipei. Even the local paper I like to read calls this team "Zhonghua Dui", literally meaning "Chinese team". The "Communist Monsters" have become more and more like teddy bears the last twenty years and they are acually doing things to improve the standard of living of people. The amazing thing is here in Taiwan, most of the educated people know that despite the propoganda they grew up with (which you are essentially spouting off pretty well - did you go to an ROC school when you were a kid?) My wife, for example, in the 70s and early 80s was taught that we (ROC) would go back and retake the Mainland from the Communists. I know we have had this discussion before, but while the ruling party is the Chinese Communist Party, the economic system in China today bears little resemblance to the centrally controlled system that existed prior to the death of Mao Zedong. Democracy for China today? Bad idea. 30-50 years from now is most likely. And if you know anything about the activities of Falungong in Mainland China before the summer of 1999, you might not be so eager to defend their "rights".
FREE FALUN GONG. The Chinese Communist dictatorship is so scared of a frickin yoga group. shows you how threatened they feel that their shaky Stalin-era ideology is that they oppress a bunch of people touching their shoulders. I agree with you, Ludahai, that we should call Taiwan the "Republic of China." We'll just call that terrorist haven to the west "Chinese Afghanistan." don't worry though, Koreans have that same problem to their north. btw, if you hate the western media so much, LEAVE the forum.
A yoga group? Do you know how did Li Hongzhi(the founder of Falun Gong) treat the Falun Gong member except cheated their money? Some of those poor members got sick, Li Hongzhi told them there is no need to see doctors, he used his spiritual powers to cure them. Most of those members end up dead, the luckier ones have been taken to hospitals by their family members. I'm sure there are some Falun Gong websites on the internet. Why don't you go check their website and use their methods to practice Falun Gong. Come back later to tell us how you feel.
You beat me to that punch. I will only add that I knew a couple of practitioners of Falungong in Ji'nan before the cult was banned. A little girl was ill and was not taken to a doctor by her parents. It wasn't until the last minute when the grandparants called authorities when she was taken to seen a doctor and her life was saved.
