China will no longer dominate the wushu competitions of the Asian Games.

Wushu top official Julian Camacho said the Wushu Federation of Asia has trimmed down the number of events where China can participate in future editions of the continental meet.

Camacho, secretary general of the Wushu Federation of the Philippines, said the Asian federation has now limited China to winning just 60 percent of the medals at stake.

“It’s a welcome development. It will give other countries the chance to win more medals, especially the Philippines,” said Camacho.

The Philippines finished with two silver medals and one bronze in the Incheon Asian Games with the gold medals in those events all won by China.
