Commentators here were saying a couple of times that this is the biggest sporting event in Taipei history. And that made me think, I really cannot remember any remotely serious event that took place there (not even Olympic qualification tournament or even some Asian championships). And It's not like Taipei doesn't have resources, but I guess politics has A LOT to do with that fact.

Yeah, it is pretty hard to do Asian champs or Olympic qualification tournaments when China probably won't show up and will complain about it!

well, they are regular host for Baseball events (World Baseball Classic, World Cup, the old Intercontinental Cup, Youth World Champs) and for the Volleyball Grand Prix (not the finals, though)...

and recently they hosted Junior and Youth World Champs in Women's Boxing...

but I guess you're right when you write about politics keeping bigger events far away from the Island...
