Therefore, the world is not get ready for China (PRC) hegemony.

     China is such a big country, which is the embodiment of 5,000 years of civilization. Today, the world will have to understand China; China will have to be seeing.  Such as Expo, The Asian Games, which caused china’s growing international.  Oppositely, Liu Xiaobo who imprisoned Chinese dissident  won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.   But China can’t accept this prize.   And China blacked out the news.  The international said that was a  pretty thing for a world power to do. 

  The world can’t accept China’s (PRC) recent behavior.  If China don't  advancing toward a greater role in the international and China masters the hegemony. Then We can anticipate that every country will have enormous change.

We did one to the left and one to the right. After the two points, the technician to the front said that we needed to remove those two sensors. Before the match, we removed them. Then Yang gave them to me.

    The World Taekwondo Federation has already said that the Asian Taekwondo Union’s press release was inappropriate. Nevertheless, it stands by Yang’s disqualification, although its reason is unclear. On Wednesday, federation secretary-general Yang Jin-suk said that the older version of socks and sensors Yang Shu-chun used had been banned since 2007. But a day later he changed course, saying the athlete was disqualified for using two extra sensors. On Friday, the secretary-general apologized for putting forward different reasons for the disqualification.
