Diplomatic gift.
In Asia, sports is like that. Sports is an extension of national state craft.
Sportsmen can be given instructions to lose. For the sake of diplomacy.

That is why some times SG football team can beat other teams.
When everyone knows the other country's football team can thrash SG 7-0.
It may happen when SG political leader is on good will visit in that country.

Not a single China player took part in this tournament. Just saying. 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, those not in the know. All professional badminton players have to play the BWF (badminton world federation) rounds of tournament (29 rounds) around the world to score points leading to the Final Tour.
