I know back post IPT pool players were trying to talk to each other.

Any players keep in touch with their foreign counter parts specifically Hong Kong?

One death and one censhorship in the pool community is a lot.

In foreign countries the backers are local wealthy people. The backers are sponsored by country initiatives with multi-year long goals.

The 18-year-old teenager passed out during a training session on Wednesday afternoon and was rushed to Prince of Wales Hospital where he was certified dead. The cause of death is not yet known.
His death was confirmed by the Sports Institute, who said in a statement on Wednesday night that it was “deeply shocked and saddened” to learn of the passing of the elite athlete.

Hong Kong snooker star Marco Fu Ka-chun has filed a legal action against his former agents after they took over his Facebook fan page despite ending his contract with them.
Passion Marketing Company, its director Chan Yan-nang and Li Wai-nga, both administrators of the page, had changed Fu and his wife’s statuses from “editor” to “moderator” of the page last July, according to the court filing.
Moderators have no power to manage access to the page or create, edit or delete posts.
Fu, a six-time Asian Games medallist currently ranked 56th in the world, ended his contract with the company on June 4 last year. However, Chan and Li continued to control the Facebook page, post on the page and use its messaging function, as well as directing enquiries for Fu to Passion Marketing Company.
