“This wushu meet is a connecting bridge whicht brought us here (Nantong) to hold sports diplomacy.

“I also found that there are many Olympic gold winners and world champions from various types of sports born here (Nantong) so there may be added value that we can learn in the future for the development of sports in the country not only for wushu,” he said when met here.

Kim Fatt who is also Wushu Federation of Malaysia president said among the wushu athletes involved are Clement Ting Su Wei, Lee Ron, Mok Xiao Yuan, Muhammad Danish Aizad, Si Shin Peng, Tan Zhi Yan, and Wong Zi Hong in the male category.

While Lee Jia Rong, Tan Cheong Min, Mandy Cebelle Chen, Sydney Chin, Kwan Yong Xin, and Pang Pui Yee are in the women’s category.
