Project narrative
In 2005, according to page AIII-vi of 'The Dragon Looks South', the Chinese government granted Vanuatu $140,000 to provide a Chinese Table Tennis coach for the Vanuatu team (or 援瓦努阿图乒乓球教练). This is the sixth table tennis coaching project and the seventh project is captured in Record ID#62864. Vanuatu's table tennis coaching program has been implemented since 1998. China has sent 10 coaches to coach in Vanuatu and arranged for Vanuatu athletes and coaches to come to China for training on many occasions. In addition, China also provided a large number of training and competition equipment for the Wa table tennis project ("瓦努阿图乒乓球教练").
Staff comments
As the seventh coach was sent to Vanuatu in 2009, this project is assumed as completed. The start and end dates are unclear.
