    lol nice shot right up the crotch. Yao might want to think about wearing long pants next time he does an interview.

    A hilarious Visa commercial by Yao Ming and Jackie Chen.

    Not sure if this has been posted. If it hasn't I guess this is the best place for it. :cool:

    I watched some report about Yao's visit to Taiwan on Phoenix TV.It's getting more and more difficult flying to Taiwan for people from mainland.

    Haha, I like this commercial. Glad to see Yao working with so many different types of people. His influence is becoming more and more apparent.

    Taiwan is a democracy where freedom of speech and press are the norm.

    This may be part of your upcoming translation, pryuen, but I didn't see it posted...

    The honeymoon is over
    Newlywed Yao Ming said he's enjoying his “new life” but must intensify training to play for the national team in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
    The Chinese NBA star made a rare revelation yesterday about his marriage to Ye Li – a player on the Chinese women's basketball team – during a visit to Taiwan as part of sports exchanges between the political rivals.

    “You're married and that comes with a bigger responsibility,” Yao told reporters. “I felt something that I never felt before. I have a new life.”

    The couple has no immediate plans for a baby because Ye went back to school following their marriage last month, Yao said.

    I don't see a good future between Taiwans and China's relationship just my opinion and I do believe chinese stars should visit Taiwan more often only good can come out of it!

    Yesterday, right after their team practice/scrimmage, before showing up at the Yao & Nash Charity Gala, the China national team had this group and individual photography session for public promotional purposes.

    Look at Yao Ming....at the centre of the national team....the Lao Da of his team !!!

    It's common in soccer teams being sponsored by some famous fashion brands. England soccer team wore Armani in last World Cup (2006) and Paul Smith in World Cup 2002 (IIRC).

    Italian soccer team wears D&G. (I googled some nice photos of Italian soccer players in D&G but I think I'd better leave it to the female clutchfans to find out themselves ;) )

    Never seen a basketball team suited though. Pryuen, do you know which brand sponsors CNT?

    Sometimes I wondered why it took so long for Visa International to sign up Yao Ming ever since that Visa commercial 4 to 5 years ago?

    On September 14, Visa International and China Construction Bank (CBC) jointly launch the CBC Visa Ming Card, and Visa International appointed Yao Ming their global image spokesperson and one of the China Visa Team composite of Olympics and World champions of China.

    http://big5.xinhuanet.com/gate/big5/news.xinhuanet.com/newscenter/2007-09/14/content_6724328.htm

    Following were photos of Yao Ming at that event at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse noon of September 14.

    Big Yao continued his business/commercial activities, the official opening of the very first of his trademark California Fitness Yao Ming Sports in Beijing today.

    Jacky Chan and a couple of the NBA stars Steve Nash, Leandro Barbosa, Chuck Hayes, and his agent Bill Duffy were amongst the guests.
