Very happy that China has opened up and are now supportive to working with FIDE and TRG on conducting trainer seminars there. A very big thank you to CCA Secretary Abigail Tian Hong Wei and her fantastic team and even more so a big debt to a very old friend and China's first World Champion Xie Jun.
