"Secondary Vocational School" "You can't just do it yourself in Taiwan!" Cai Qichang has advice for the new president

[Special Correspondent Gong Naijie/Reporting from Tokyo, Japan] Chinese Professional Baseball President Cai Qichang went to the Tokyo Dome today to hold a press conference with Japan Professional Baseball President Sakakibara Sadaki, announcing that the Japanese Samurai team will come to the Taipei Arena on March 6 and 7. Behind the promotion of the event was the meeting between the Taiwanese, Japanese and Korean professional associations at the Tokyo Dome during the Classic Tournament at the beginning of the year. They felt that the growth rate of the baseball market lagged behind that of football, and hoped to stimulate the Asian baseball market through more exchanges and go global.

Cai Qichang said that the meeting between the presidents of the three countries in the Classic at the beginning of the year was mainly to discuss how to promote the Asian baseball market. "This time the Samurai team came to Taiwan, why they still held children's promotion activities? It was because they saw the crisis and hoped to increase the number of people who like baseball, so that the market would become bigger and more competitive."

The Chinese vocational schools have negotiated with the Japanese vocational schools for the Taiwan-Japan exchange games in March next year, and they have discussed with South Korea a new model for the winter league that will start today. For the first time, the Korean vocational schools will lead the team to compete in Taiwan. Cai Qichang said, "Different communication methods will create new expectations and demands in the market. Taiwan is small, but the proportion of fans is not small. This is for Japan and South Korea. The Taiwan market is also worth developing. Of course, the Japanese and Korean markets are also worthy of our development. In the future, we even hope to join Australia to create a four-win situation, which will help promote the baseball market."

The Taiwan-Japan Exchange Tournament in March next year will be the last competition during Tsai Chi-chang's term, and will be handed over to the next president. Tsai Chi-chang bluntly stated that he will respect the promotion of the new president, but also hopes to continue to establish good connections with Japan and South Korea. "The next stage of secondary vocational education cannot only be done in Taiwan, but must be differentiated. International connections will be very important, and Japan and South Korea currently have common ideas and want to promote it."
