    Still in Indonesia? I haven't noticed him on the coaching seats of players. I know some coaches (noticably Rexy) have been moved around recently.

    I don't hear anything abt him here in Indo. Does he still endorse Kawasaki rackets? Or that was his own company?

    Well, the OP included a link to the Kawasaki Facebook page. That page has a Shenzhen address and the most recent picture of Li Mao there is from a few days ago so I'm guessing that is where he is currently based. I wouldn't know how long he has been there. It does seem a little odd to describe Li's movements from 1998 to 2010 and then not talk about the last 7 years, nor even mention when he took this present position.

    Li Mao also has left Indonesia early, and already back to his country. He is in Kawasaki badminton club now.

    As for Kawasaki badminton, it shouldn't his company, as I learned from Net, Kawasaki brand was established in 1915, world first carbon racket was created by Kawasaki in 1973. So I guess he just served there.

    He has left Indonesia in earlier time, that's why you didn't found him now in coach seats. :)
