I guess if he's only mentioning Wei Li on his bio, that's fine. I think he was at least sent to foreign training with Rafael Arutunyan at one point (at least for two seasons, I think? He was sent in 2018 summer) - I assumed the arrangement was still very much present, but I suppose not (maybe the pandemic has something to do with it, or maybe it was only supposed to be temporary).

Hope he's sent to GP Italy (not taken off the list ), and can prove his potential there.
