WUHAN [url=http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/]http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/[/url] , April 26 (Xinhua) -- Lin Dan defended the men's singles title at the Badminton Asia Championships here on Sunday, a boost for the Chinese superstar who is gearing up for the 2016 Rio Olympics, while Olympic champion Li Xuerui lost the women's singles final.
Lin, two-time Olympic champion, proved too powerful for his young compatriot Tian Houwei, winning 21-19, 21-8 in the final.
Unseeded Tian received a walkover the previous day when world No. 1 Chen Long withdrew from the semifinals with a knee injury.
"A gold medal here means a good start in the 2015 season [url=http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/]cheap nike air max 2019 outlet[/url] , which is very important for me," Lin, also five-time world champion, told the press conference after the match.
"Now I have fans and rivals and I ask myself if it's possible for me to do even better and in 2016 represent China in my fourth Olympic Games, which I will be very proud of," the 32-year-old said. "In badminton, no Chinese has achieved this like Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia."
Lin admitted that Lee Chong Wei would be the hardest opponent if the Malaysian would be allowed to play in the Rio Games. Two-time Olympic silver medalist Lee is suspended by the World Badminton Federation for doping.
Earlier in the day [url=http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/]cheap nike air max 2019 free shipping[/url] , world number seven Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand recovered from a first-game loss to defeat world No. 3 Li Xuerui of China 20-22, 23-21, 21-12 in a lengthy women's singles final that lasted an hour and 16 minutes.
In 2013, the then 18-year-old Thai had also beaten Li in three games to win her nation' s first badminton world title in Guangdong, China.
"I'm happy to clinch a title again in China," said Intanon, adding that she felt no pressure while playing probably because Li hadn't fully recovered from her injury.
Li said that the tough Thai made her fight hard and too tired to strike back in the third game and that as impatience grew she made a few mistakes. "I still need to improve myself and I hope I will play better in the coming Sudirman Cup."
In the all-Chinese women's doubles final [url=http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/]cheap nike air max 2019 sale[/url] , Ma Jin and Tang Yuanting breezed past much-higher-ranked Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang 21-12, 21-12.
"The Chinese team sees the Asian Championships as a key event and so fielded the strongest players. We lost because we were exhausted after yesterday's match, but luckily the medal is still on our side," said Yu.
In the men's doubles, Lee Yong Dae and Yoo Yeon Seong of South Korea won the gold medal, after crushing Ahsan Mohammad and Setiawan Hendra of Indonesia 18-21, 24-22 [url=http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/]cheap nike air max 2019 online[/url] , 21-19. In the mixed doubles, Ahmad Tontowi and Natsir Liliyana of Indonesia won the title with a straight games victory over Lee Chun Hei Reginald and Chau Hoi Wah of Chinese Hong Kong.
GENEVA, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- For creating a shared future in a fractured world, China's continued commitment to international dialogue and cooperation is vital, Klaus Schwab, founder and chief executive of the World Economic Forum (WEF), told Xinhua in a recent interview.
According to the latest annual Global Risks Report WEF published in January [url=http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/]cheap nike air max 2019 trainers[/url] , experts mostly believe relationships between the world's major powers may worsen in 2018.
That's why Chinese President Xi Jinping's address at the WEF 2017 was historically significant, Schwab told Xinhua days ahead of the opening of the WEF 2018. "What most impressed participants and the media was the president's commitment to an open and collaborative spirit when addressing shared challenges."
As the first Chinese head of state to have attended the Davos meetings, Xi called at the World Economic Forum in Davos last year for joint efforts to chart the course of economic globalization and forge new models of global growth, cooperation, governance and development.
Since then, "the Chinese leadership has been noted in fields such as climate change, the future of the Internet [url=http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/]cheap nike air max 2019 china[/url] , as well as development of finance through One Belt One Road. At the same time, we increasingly see China's globalizing enterprises playing a responsible role on the international stage, for example in the area of trade and the circular economy," the WEF founder said.
Recalling the prevailing discussion on capitalism during the forum's annual meeting in 2012, Schwab said many major economies had been in a "crisis mode" over most of the past six years, and blamed this for many of the fractures threatening the world today.
"It may not exactly be the case in China, which continues to record strong growth [url=http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/]cheap nike air max 2019 mens[/url] ," he said, adding that he expected an "important moment" at the upcoming Davos forum, at which China will share with the world new information about its economic development.
As some 70 heads of state and government and 38 leaders of international organizations are heading for the Davos forum slated for Jan. 23-26, China will be represented by Liu He, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the General Office of the Central Leading Group for Financial and Economic Affairs.
"We know his crucial role in shaping the economic policies in China," Schwab said.
On this year's WEF theme, "Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World [url=http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/]cheap nike air max 2019 womens[/url] ," Schwab said he saw the fractures "emerging in our world on two levels."
First, fractures are being seen at the international level, where nations and economies are increasingly adopting competitive positions based on divergent interests.
"At the end of the last century and the start of our current one, the world's powers were very much more aligned," he recalled.
Second, fractures are emerging within countries, as many societies continue to undergo strain and instability.
Fractures at the international level may be well seen in the rise of
"geo-strategic competition" in a "multi-polar world based not on one unilateral
global power but a number of different power
centers [url=http://www.cheapairmax2019australia.com/]cheap nike air max 2019
shoes[/url] , not all of which are based on the same values or traditions," he
