There was no minimum respect.
Controversy continues over Bhupenja, a foreign player from Gabon who recently died in a crash while playing in Zhejiang in the Chinese Super League. As local media in China continue to report day after day, public security has tentatively concluded that there is no charge of murder in Bhupenja's death.
Buffenza's save of his team is under heavy fire. They pushed ahead with the seventh round of the 2025 Super League against Major League Baseball on the day the news of Buffenza's death was announced. The game was shocking. Apart from the cancellation of the game, there was no time to pay silent tribute to Buffenja before the start. Zhejiang striker Wang Yu-dong, considered one of the "Chinese national teams" 'Shinsung', scored a goal and even performed a loud ceremony. In this game, it was in stark contrast to the Major Woo squad, where all the players gathered after scoring and celebrated in memory of Buffenja.
In response, a Chinese journalist criticized his determination. In an editorial published on Sina Dotcom on the 18th, Inbo, a member of the Zhejiang Times, said that the biggest problem of the Chinese Super League, where fake professional teams are prevailing, is the lack of character. He wrote 'Bupenza's unfortunate accident is a huge tragedy' and that even in this case, Zhejiang and Major League teams did not have time to pay tribute to him. Then 'Bupenza played normally until recently and even helped Wang Wang-dong 'Is there a reason why Zhejiang is so indifferent to the death of Bu Penza. If Zhejiang continues to participate in the league without any condolences, it will be the most unprofessional personality problem in the history of the Chinese Super League.' In addition, fans shouted "Bupenza's name" in the 9th minute of the first half, but no one from the club responded. Rumors that Zhejiang insisted on postponing the game but Major Wu opposed it are also not likely to be true given the contents of the game, lamenting that `Whatever the truth is, this incident will go down in history as a typical example of the lack of humanity of Chinese soccer.'

Inbo also pointed out that the incident was known through foreign media. He said 'After the foreign press report, the news was also reported to China, but most of the media did not respond. On the day of the game, only a press release from the club and the public security was released. 'Criticism continues to grow on social media in China, but related reports came out after the game. The term "professional" attached to Chinese soccer only feels fake. He also stressed that `It is common practice in foreign countries to mourn and show respect for life before games when players and team officials die.' `Although most leagues do not specify such a way of memorial as a rule, it is because there is respect for life and life.' Inbo said 'It was Major U's foreign players who paid tribute to Bufenja first in the game. Would the Chinese players have paid tribute if this had happened to a Korean Major Wu player?' he pointed out. "'Wang Yu-dong is evaluated as a player with outstanding potential, but it is difficult to change to an acquired education because some qualities (personality) are born with it.'" Then 'Life is not respected, and the club cannot pay foreign players on time. Life must be respected, and salaries must be paid back even by selling property. 'There still seems to be a lack of awareness and respect for life in Chinese football. Of course, (the lack of respect for life) is not limited to soccer.
