Agree with many of the observation and the event could have many areas to improve upon.
Comment above really got to my nerve as I do not often comment on stuff like this publicly. The term "avowed enemy" is a really big word, last time I check even on CNN, that was not the case. The competitive shooting community is small, and in my mind, holds a bunch of passionate and open-minded individuals, despite the gender, birth country, ethnicity, race, culture, religious belief. These are what make the community great. I respect the feeling against the country, entity as a whole. One can like Glock and hate 1911 as a whole, vice versa, no problem whatsoever. However, the individuals from China who attend WC had the same interest and love as everyone else in the match. They all work hard in their life, and got to where they are with nothing but their bare hands and minds. Team contains surgeons, doctors, script writers, businessmen, engineers and many extraordinary individual with excellent trades and skills, like everyone in this forum(I'd like to call them elite). I had the opportunity helping them out on ways I could, and it was a true pleasure for me. Thumb up to every staff member we met at world shoot, who treat the team equally, follow strictly to range command and provided best accommodation they were allowed. At the end of day, mixing the feeling of individual and country on social media and in real life is weak and short sighted.
