"At present, the Chinese table tennis team is undergoing adaptive training in Doha, Qatar, and is fully preparing for the upcoming World Table Tennis Championships. We have also noticed the public opinion caused by this overseas Internet disinformation infusion. To be honest, this kind of malicious rumor-mongering and smearing is really infuriating. Especially on the eve of the World Table Tennis Championships and the ITTF election, such rumors will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the team's preparations. Secretary-General He Xiao called on everyone not to believe or spread rumors, and hoped that everyone would continue to pay attention to the performance of the Chinese table tennis team.

Liu Guoliang took the initiative to resign as chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association in April this year, and Wang Liqin took over the baton, with Ma Long as vice chairman. Even if he steps down as the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang is still in officeFirst Vice President of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) and President of the World Table Tennis Federation (WTT).。
