1978

Go World 9 and 10 write:

From the 6th to the 27th June a ten-member Chinese team, consisting of eight players, the team leader and a secretary, toured Japan and played seven team matches with Japanese players. The final result was a tie, 28 to 28. The Chinese players were Ch'en Tsu-te, Nieh Wei-p'ing, Wu Sung-Sheng, Hua I-kang, Ch'en Chih-kang, Yang I-lun, Chiang Ming-chiu, K'ung Shang-ming (F).
A new feature of this tour was a special three-match series (the 3rd to 5th matches) in which the same Japanese team played the Chinese team.
In the 28-28 score, public haya-go (fast games) are not included. The 1978 tour began with a haya-go between Takemiya and Nieh in Tokyo. Takemiya won by 20.5 points. Another haya-go, in which Hashimoto Shoji 9-dan defeated Ch'en Tsu-te by resignation, was played in Osaka.
Round 2 was in Sapporo, with strong amateurs as opponents.

Go World 35 and 37 write:

1984: The unique feature of this tour was two best-of-three individual series. If a best-of-three was decided 2--0, then the pairings were changed in the 3rd round and the players played 'exhibition' games.
Result for Japan: 33 wins, 22 losses, 1 no result. Japan won 11 of the 16 best-of-three series played. Kato played six games against the tourists, winning all six. Liu Hsiao-kuang won both his best-of-three matches. Nieh won only twice, but did have the consolation of beating Sakata in a haya-go exhibition game.
The Chinese players were the top eight from a qualifying tournament, namely 1. Ch'ien Yu-ping 6-dan (age 17), 2. Nieh Wei-p'ing 9-dan (age 31), 3. Ma Hsiao-ch'un 9-dan (age 19), 4.
