Source: Taiwan still going to Asian Championship - Jun 15, 2009 (by Chris Wang)
Taiwan Men's NT is still highly possible to participate in the 2009 Asian Men's Basketball Championship in Tianjin, China, a CTBA official said Monday.

Either the tournament will try to expand the 16-team field or some teams are expected to withdraw before the competition takes place, paving the way for Taiwan to make a trip to Tianjin.

FIBA Asia secretary-general Yeoh Choo Hock said Taiwan, which finished 4th-place in the East Asia Basketball Championship, is definitely going to the Asian Championship, the official said.

All five Asian teams (Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Jordan, India and Qatar) that participated in the 2008 FIBA Asia Stankovic Cup in Kuwait had been granted seeds in the Asian Championship as -- if my memory is correct -- FIBA Asia had stated that the biennial Stankovic Cup will be used as a qualifier for the Asian Championship, which was also held every two years.

According to FIBA Asia, the top six teams in Stankovic Cup will receive at-large bids for the Asia Championship. The other seeds will be granted to top two teams in each of the five subzones and the host country.

Taiwan did not enter the tournament last year and the CTBA was later blasted for the mistake because finishing in top six in the Stankovic Cup is obviously easier than winning a seed through the East Asian qualifier.

Word was that FIBA Asia had failed to express clearly to member associations about the seeding opportunities before the 2008 Stankovic Cup and CTBA had complained to FIBA about this, forcing FIBA to pressure FIBA Asia into changing the seeding format.

Rumor also said that India might pull out of the Asian Championship for unknown reasons.

Taiwan finished for 4th-place in the EABC and was out of the Asian Championship for the first time since 1985.

The 2009 Asia Championship will be played in Tianjin, China from August 6-16.

Im really Confused..But well good for taiwan..hope they will be the same bracket with phils hehehe
 
So I think FIBA Asia should hold another competition ,and the 5 team (Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Jordan, India and Qatar) and the 3th and the 4th team of five subzones play in the competition.
The top 5 will qualifier to the 2009 Asian Men's Basketball Championship in Tianjin, China.
I think if FIBA Asia do that the top 5 will not like the 5 team of 2008Stankovic Cup .

before you ask that is there a confirmation from Fiba Asia that Chinese Taipei will play in the Asian Championships. Asia-basket is a respective news website but it also written there that it might be a rumor. So before anything else lets wait for Fiba

No it's not rumor.
I think the news of http://www.asia-basket is not very accurate.

As I Konw the FIBA World has many interrogation of the 5 team (Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Jordan, India and Qatar) of 2008 FIBA Asia Stankovic Cup who get the seeds easilly.
And Taiwan may has the seeds , but we don't how Taiwan to get the seeds .
So let's wait for the FIBA Asia.

I don't say your NT afraid of korea, japan and Taiwan.
But these team are not afraid your NT like Indonesia or Malaysia
I just think that If your NT are forced to fight with korea, japan for 2 seeds and lost .Your NT can not play in Asian Championship .
I think your NT will miss the south east subzones .
I say again just wait for the FIBA asia.

There ain't no such rule, 6 teams automatically qualifies due to their participation from the Stankovic Cup and being host of the tourney. Now what happens is that each zone will be given 2 slots for qualification for the championships. so if do the your math 6 + ( 2 slots x 5 zones) = 16 teams for the tourney.

Korea wasn't even part of the Stankovic cup so that makes them participate in the East Asian Championships so that they can be qualified to join the Asian Championships.

You must be referring to the old rule of qualification. This time the 5 teams who participated in the Stankovic Cup have automatic qualification while the top 5 teams of last edition's tournament as well as the other teams need to go through subzone qualifiers. As host, china already has a slot. The top 4 teams of last edition Iran, Lebanon, Korea, and Kazakhstan are seeded to Group A, B, C, and D respectively.
 
Last news !
Chinese Taipei will play in the Asian Championships to replace the Bahrain NT
from the gulf areas subzones.
Because the Bahrain NT disclaim their seed.
