Wushu Masters Challenge to continue

The Sports Bureau’s director, Pun Weng Kun, has claimed that this year’s Wushu Masters Challenge witnessed better results than expected. According to Pun, approximately 100,000 people attended this year’s Wushu Masters Challenge. “Our previous evaluation indicates that [Macau] will continue to organize the Wushu Masters Challenge,” stated Pun, adding “an event cannot mature enough after it has been organized three or four times. It [Wushu Masters Challenge] still needs to be explored a bit further, and [the government] has to see the acceptance of tourists and residents.”
