Sir, if one talks of direct translation, it is spot on.It is in fact a direct transliteration of the word ping pong into Chinese. That by itself is not derogatory. But detractors of the sport esp. the Americans use ping pong in a different sense. There is a certain sting to it! Table-tennis is also a taxing sport apart from being fast-paced and strategic. Detractors call it ping pong to underscore their beef that it is not a real sport because it's just ping and pong! Now I understand chess is also regarded as a sport!

I very much second what u have said. Brilliant! Firstly, just like u and me, FTW has no choice over her country of birth and so for her it is China. Secondly, she came to Sinkapore because she was talent-scouted and for that give her credit where credit is due. She was invited just like others before her who were given citizenship in countries such as Sweden, Germany,France and Australia. Thirdly let's face it, FTW is a superb table-tennis player. She didn't achieve bronze by luck alone. Finally let's call a spade a spade; table-tennis is table-tennis and no longer ping pong unless one intends to be mean spiteful and derogatory like the Americans. Ping pong diplomacy belongs to the realm of geo-politics and not the sporting arena.
Pukimati, the issue isn't where she is from. The issue is whether she herself sees herslef as a Singaporean and will anchor herself and her family here.
You pukimati idiot cannot even notice this simple yet big difference? KNNPCCB! If she has been here for so many years and still cannot speak English then she is obviously not here for the long term. She is a scavenger first and foremost, not an athelete.
That wud make our MIW super whores???
Let's get this straight, she's Feng Tianwei, name together PRC Hanyuping style. That tells us she's PRC. Not like Tan Ah Kow type spelling.

Why Hong Kong has a ship of activists going to within 12km of Diaoyu islands yesterday to show China's sovereignty against Japan's claim?
If Hongkies keep saying China is stifling its freedom and legislature, when it comes to showing their allegiance when China's sovereignty is attacked, the Chinese will still side Chinese, regardless. Same for Chinese in Sinkapore.
Same for Taiwan, keep complaining about China in so many things, but when China's sovereignty is attacked, Taiwan will wear its heart on its sleeve and side with China.
I really doubt Chinese in Sinkapore think otherwise. For overseas Chinese in general, if China becomes first world and super-power, the overseas Chinese will pledge allegiance to China.
Sinkapore is just a little red dot, without a long history of patriots and genealogy. Don't kid yourself, people.

At least FTW did not fake her answer.
The cold hard truths
(1) Despite being denied a chance to compete under the PRC flag, FTW is wholeheartedly 100% loyal to PRC.
(2) FTW just want to compete, it does not really matter under whose flag, be it Singapore or Timbaktu.
(3) FTW will never call Singapore her home. When she reaches her competition expiry date, she will surely return to motherland PRC. Btw, thanks to Sg government for the Sg passport, it sure helps in travelling.

FUCK you FUCK you
you think she wants to play for Timbaktu.
it oso doesnt matters where her hart lies ...
If 'Timbaktu' pays her well, why not?
You Chaocheebye cannot even accept that many other foreign-minted Sinkies and even local borns cannot speak English. U are jumping to all sorts of conclusion because u hate them so much. Why is she not an athlete? How do u define an athlete? I'm sure if this tiny red dot fails u and u are forced to seek greener pastures elsewhere, u are going to be a scavenger too. Why don't u ask FTW yourself at STTA premises whether she sees herself as a Sinkie and whether she is going to anchor here in the long term. If Sinkies can choose to leave this country, I don't see why FTW or others cannot come in here to seek a better life. So what she's a scavenger? A scavenger is many times better than local-bred parasites chobolans. I knnbpcb and pukimati u back. Fucking moron!
It not wrong for her to make decent living out here with her skills. I must say Singapore and FTW are a perfect match. Why ? Singapore wanted glory by winning olympic medals, FTW needed money
So by the MIW standard, everything and anything can be bought by money is nothing to be shameful about, that Include National pride, it just business as usual for these Ultra right wingers.
What is the rational rewarding these foreign players with big money ? After all , they are being paid to play table tennis and in exchange to get medals. Don't get me started on citizenship ! They will dump Singapore's citizenship and go back China once everything is over ? Will we get another set of trio from China once these 3 ladies bow out ?
Money and Glory comes hand in hand .

Saw this in FB, maybe she is actually part of China's bigger scheme of things?
"The Wolf Raising Plan was originally proposed by the Chinese table tennis team. Early 2009, Cai Zhenhua took over the Chinese Table Tennis Association and came up with a long-term plan that focused on table tennis future development. Taking "going out, and inviting in" approach to help the foreign table tennis players to raise their skills, to train opponents into "Wolves", rather than change ourselves from "Lion" to "sheep". Later, the Chinese weightlifting team also learned the "Wolf Raising Plan”. By training and exchanging players with foreign athletes and other methods, letting other national or regional players to win the championship, will be more conducive to the development and popularization of women’s weightlifting."

Same a me thinking respect her for telling the truth rather than lie.
PAP is even worth telling lie after lie.
Of the 3 women PP team I will only shake FTW hand for her honest answer. Make me more respect her.
MIW should learn from her give honest answer. MIW always try to cover news.
