Taiwan's Internet forums used to have a golden saying: politics is politics; sports is sports; ninja turtles are ninjas. But focusing on the sports world
Sports fans know how irrational this statement is. It's enough to be a problem for national football teams to have different nationalities for different players to participate in their national teams, or for players to go to great lengths to get a passport from a foreign country to become a naturalized player if there is a foreign player restriction in the professional soccer leagues.
The ball unit made a lot of noise.
Recently, because of the Hong Kong anti-Send China incident and the curator Chan Chi Han's anti-Red Media incident, let soccer fans also come to recall, the Dai Wai Tsun (戴伟浚) controversy that happened in October last year. (Go Hong Kong!)

Born in Hong Kong in 1999, Tai Wai-chun moved to England at the age of 11 for his father, joining the Reading youth team in the Championship; it was not until 2016 that he moved to Bury, which goes back and forth between League One and League Two, that he was offered a professional contract and made his first professional appearances, until 2018, when he moved to Oxford United in League One.
As early as 2017, Dai Weijun was recruited to the Hong Kong youth team and trained with the Hong Kong U22's for 10 days, but then declined to participate in the Asian Cup qualifiers and other tournaments, both youth and adult, because he wanted to focus on the professional team. Fast-forward to October 2018, when Dai was recruited by the Hong Kong team, and according to Gary White, the former coach of the Hong Kong team in Taiwan, Dai did not participate in the Hong Kong team's international tournaments because he had just recovered from an injury.
In October, Dai Weijun was caught by Hong Kong fans when he posted on his personal Instagram that he was in Holland, which happened to be the location of the China U21 team's training session. His club, Oxford United, later confirmed on their website that Dai had indeed traveled to the Netherlands to join the China U21 training camp. When Dai was asked if he could visit the Netherlands, a reporter asked him directly if he had obtained a Chinese passport or represented China, but Dai said he refused to answer because it would make Hong Kong people unhappy.
Gary White, then coach of the Hong Kong team, was asked by the media about Dai's departure for China's U21 training instead of Hong Kong, and replied, "I don't care. According to Chinese media inquiries, the Chinese Football Association (CFA)
The team said it was just a trial for Dai Weijun, which did not mean he would be selected for the Chinese national Olympic team. As a matter of course, Dai Weijun's Instagram account was cursed by Hong Kong people and was flooded with messages.In January 2019, Dai Weijun was loaned to Utrecht of the Dutch Eredivisie and participated in the matches of their youth team in the Dutch B. It is believed that he will play for any national team in addition to the professional team. It is believed that he will represent the national team in addition to the professional part of the team.
The outing will be one that fans will be watching.
Coming back to the issue, besides the Dai Weijun controversy last year, recently Taiwanese have also been focusing on Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan's special relationship, and all of them have had referendums related to the proper name of the Tokyo Olympics; politics to politics; sports to sports now most Taiwanese know that this is just a joke slogan of the officials wanting to put things to rest, or wanting to avoid fines. Taiwan's World Cup Asian qualifying tournament in September, the current trend seems to see a new wave of social movements in the soccer stadium?
