Popular Taiwanese TV hostess Dee Hsu has become the latest target of Chinese mainland nationalists after she addressed the island’s Olympic athletes as “national players” in remarks seen as violating the one-China principle.
Affectionately known as Little S, Hsu has showed strong support through her Instagram posts for the island’s athletes in the Tokyo Olympics, including women’s badminton silver medallist Tai Tzu-ying and men’s badminton doubles gold medallists Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin, as well as Lin Yun-ju, who clinched a bronze along with his partner Cheng I-ching in the mixed table tennis doubles.
Chen vs Yu
Winning this match would guarantee her a silver medal, while losing the match would give her one more chance to win a bronze.
Chen won four sets with a score of: 11-6, 11-8 and 11-7, 11-6.
In the fourth set, play was stopped for Yu’s knee injury to be attended to.
Chen is China s top-ranked paddler and is ranked #1 in the world. She is also the first female table tennis player to win four consecutive titles at the ITTF World Tour Grand Finals after winning the 2020 edition in Zhengzhou.
On Tuesday (July 27), Yu beat Japan s Kasumi Ishikawa and Taiwan s Cheng I-Ching of Taiwan.
