Why is this shot not valid?

6. Designate the pockets
In the game with the rule of designate pockets, (designate the ball to hit, and which object ball to pot) player should tell the referee or opponent which object ball to hit and which pocket to pot. As for the process is insignificant such as how many times touching the cushion, or if touched any other balls during the process.
In the following condition that the player should call pocket, (1) if the first hitting ball is the planned pocketed object ball, and the object ball is pocketed with touching other balls or banking. (2) If the first hitting ball is not the planned pocketed ball, the player should designate the ball and call the pocket.
If the player fails to call pocket in the above two situation, the pocket is illegal, the opponent shall shoot or be judged as losing the rack (when hitting the 8 ball). For other situation, there is no need to call pocket. This rule also applied for the 8 ball (there is no necessary to call pocket if the 8 ball pocketed without involving above 2 situation)

I'm still not sure about the explanations.
Most probably the ferrule contacted the cue ball which it is not allowed to and also scooping the CB is generally not allowed in pool.

Note that in Snooker a bouncing CB shot actually is legal as long as no OB is jumped over.
As such this shot would've been legal if only he'd hit a red...

I understand Chinese. The commentator was confused for a moment and then said the cue ball contacted the object ball twice, hence pot is not counted. He hesitated and doesn't sound convincing. The YouTube comment came as a translation of the commentator.

In all 8 ball rules, I have only heard of call pocket, but not how the ball is potted (except in-house pub rules or between friends). I thought it could be due to scoop shot (which I thought is a foul shot when jumping over a ball)

When is this going to be a legal pot? Who will call for a second contact to pot a ball??

Sounds as though its just a very stringent form of "call shot".
Every nuance of the balls journey to the pocket must be declared prior to the shot taking place.

It was not declared that the cue ball would hit the object ball more than once (or a specified
number of times) prior to the pocket... so it was just a missed shot, even if the ball went in.
Seems to be what is happening.

As the incoming player, you decide to call the shot or not.
(when calling you only need say the ball and pocket, not how)
If you decide not to call the shot because it is obvious, you must play it 'straight in'.
If you play it in off other balls, or off cushions not touching the pocket, or hit it CB twice, it is end of visit.
Only 'straight in' shots are deemed to be obvious and therefore don't need to be called.

In this instance, no pocket was called. Ball was not potted 'straight in' so therefore end of visit.
