Chen Jin could only barely beat Sho Sasaki in this AE... I doubt that CJ could do much better against Lin Dan than Joachim Persson did. That would just be painful for the audience to watch... better to let the show moved on instead.
Until the day, badminton is popular enough to allow players to make enough money playing on their own, or every other country is strong enough to beat China players regularly before Semi-final, otherwise, yes, be prepared to see more to come.
I don't really understand all you said (sorry I said it my english is very poor

I really asked myself : is LD thinking of that? I mean does he ask himself questions like "would it be the same if I didn't had arrangement?", "Am I really the best?"...I don't mean especially about this all england, bubt this kind of "cheat" is not the first with china.
