Thailand beats China in final of Asian women's volleyball championshipPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Monday, September 14, 2009 at 12:56 PM
 Chongqing Morning Post, September 14, 2009 The top headline of today's Chongqing Morning Post is for a story saying that none of the victims of the syringe needle attacks in Urumqi have been infected with HIV or other communicable diseases. The large photo shows China's women's volleyball team in their losing match in the Asian women's volleyball championship final that took place yesterday in Hanoi, Vietnam. They lost 1:3 to Thailand. Women's volleyball has had a special place in many Chinese people's hearts since the 1980s when China's women's volleyball team won five World Cup titles as well as the 1984 Olympic gold, so this loss comes as a disappointment.

+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on Thailand beats China in final of Asian women's volleyball championship
Well I guess the gov't can always boycott all Thai products or slap huge tariffs on them...
LoveChinaLongTime,
...or they can count the number of all medals instead of just gold and say they've won the tournament as well.
China,I agree that you are the best of Asia.
Your athlete is so good and talented.
Every team try to develop to be equal you,don't except our team,Thailand.
Today I feel so happy,but I still cheer you up to win exery first-class team(every time(LOL)),and I think Thailand will win every first-class team same you.
Ps.Asia team will be the best of team in the world.

excellent!!!!!!!1 Thailand fight fight fight and fight again I believe you can do it world grang year!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thailand is very good team and very working hard with long time. and I hope they must be world champion.
China is always good, but I have been waiting Thailand to become the champion for 30 years. Eventually, they made it and i believe their way to the world Champion is now possible and I will watch you, Thailand. I wish they will meet again in the final of Asian Game to see the consistency of their performance... Come on move on Thailand.
Well, let's not getting carry way, shall we?
It took us nearly 30 years to build up the program to this point. 7 of these Thai ladies are playing Volleyball in professional leagues in Europe.
So, let's just say, 'Congratulations!' to he ladies, coaches and Amateur Volleyball Association of Thailand.
Yes, the governing body of volleyball in Thailand is still called Amateur Volleyball Association.,
