Chinese province secures another National Games sponsor
The Guangdong team that will compete at the Chinese National Games has secured its second new sponsor within a week.

The competition will be held in Shandong in October. The last edition of the games, China's highest level of national competition, saw Guangdong province finish second in the overall medal table.
"I hope the luggage we will provide returns to Guangdong full of gold medals," said Xietong general manager Luo Tongxin.
