To avoid the spotlight, he stayed in a common hotel. He plans to stay a few days in Beijing before going back to his hometown of Shanghai.

It's reported that despite three weeks of holidays in Los Angeles, he has remained in tip top form.

He will go to see China's Basketball team compete against the Australian team but will only be a spectator and will not play.
