Plus he was born and raised in the U.S. He does not relate much to China or Taiwan. With that said it makes more sense for him to play for Team USA. But even if he gets an invite, he will probably turn it down because no matter which country he chooses to represent there will be some controversy.Originally Posted by werallequal
well not that its a bad thing but instead of playing for his nationality /country? i think he would much rather play to represent who he is for his culture/communityOriginally Posted by Noskey
What would be disrespectful? Playing for team USA?
He'll play for Taiwan before he even makes it to Team USA.
