Also apparently defending our national face seems to be the only time where it is appropriate to play Mahjong (As a young woman, I was once reprimanded for even knowing how to play the game).

Anyway, congratulations to the French players. I never knew Mah Jong was so widely embraced outside of China.

But i am a little bit disappointed about the term “national humilation”.the news report.

I hope i can post on China network in order to clarify french position about his tournament to chinese people.

I am one of the organizer of the tournament.

I do not like this title.

It was a great honor for us to welcome chinese players and players from many european countries to our tournament.

Mahjong is not a war, so we do not intend to crush our opponent.

We love to play mahjong for fun, who win is not important.
This time french players won, next time it will be another one, that’s the game.

We are not the best, i prefer thinking that european peoples start to reach chinese mahjong level now, but there is a long path to go for us.

The most important for us was that all players enjoyed to come and play

“Anyone trying to excel at mahjong will be regarded as an idler in China, which makes it difficult to organize a professional mahjong team.”

Can we all just take a moment to admire this spin? Somebody get this guy a job at a PR firm. I hope that one day, I too can be a top-notch bullshitter.
