Another factor was the location of the preliminary rounds. Most were played
in Chongqing which has a devastating history of Japanese oppression against
the Chinese. Little facts have been passed on in Japanese history books of
Japan's attrocities against its Asian neighbors.
The final held in Beijing was a carryover from the treatment and reaction
the Japanese team received in Chongqing.
Still the Chinese fans behaviour was just not cricket.
