New National Debate Champions Lead the Way as 48 Debaters Gather for Intellectual Showdown
The highlight of this tournament lies in its high-caliber lineup, featuring renowned debaters and key opinion leaders from the Web3 space. Participants include Zhang Zilong, former champion of the New National Debate; Evansen, winner of the 2020 Quan Bian Hui Championship and the 2024 Chinese Debate World Cup Tianjin Division; and "Big Brother," the best debater at Beihua University’s Fenghua Cup. These individuals will form 12 teams to engage in fierce debates on hot topics in blockchain and the future of Web3, delivering a true intellectual feast for audiences.
Zhang Zilong, the 2013 New National Debate champion, stands out as a heavyweight participant. His impressive track record includes third place at the 2012 Cross-Strait Cup, semifinalist at the 2013 Asia-Pacific Debate, runner-up at the 2013 Cross-Strait Cup, fourth place at the 2014 Cross-Strait Cup, and semifinalist at the 2015 Xingbian Competition. His participation adds significant prestige to the event.
In the opening match, Zhang Zilong will lead the "Beijing Roast Duck Team" against Briah’s "Spark Ignites Fate Team." The first debate topic draws inspiration from the real-life incident of an industry veteran losing $1.2 billion in contract trading, centering on whether one should “return to normal life” or “strive to recover losses.” Notably, the individual involved in the incident will attend as a guest in the audience, adding dramatic flair to the event.
Beyond debate legends, the tournament also features numerous crypto KOLs and industry leaders. The “Sun Yuchen Alumni Team,” composed entirely of Peking University graduates—including Kobe, former COO of a well-known exchange and VP at Lagou Network, and Fu Rao, CEO of RWA.ltd—brings formidable strength. Other participants include DUDU, Asia Head of Decrypt/RugRadio; Vito, founder of MetaEra; David Lin, founder of Ctalks; Evie, BD Lead at Kaspa Foundation; and Leon, founder of KaBoom.

Fostering Intellectual Exchange: HTX Joins Hands to Shape the Future of the Industry
The "Liberland Cup" National Debate Tournament was conceived following Sun Yuchen's appointment as Prime Minister of Liberland, embracing the nation's spirit of freedom as its core value, aiming to establish a national-level debate championship. Beyond promoting deeper engagement within the blockchain community, the event seeks to inject fresh vitality into the global Web3 ecosystem through free-flowing intellectual exchange.
"The name itself reveals that Liberland is a country built upon the principle of liberty. Debate has always attracted broad public interest and participation worldwide. In democratic nations, debate competitions serve as training grounds for lawmakers and a fundamental means of encouraging civic political engagement. Parliamentary-style debating has hosted world championships overseas for over 40 years. In China, from the May Fourth Youth Debates to the National College Debate that nurtured famous hosts like Jiang Changjian and Lu Yiming, to recent shows like 'I Can Explain,' it’s clear that critical thinking is increasingly valued among the Chinese people. Through debate, we aim to foster freer, more diverse expression within the crypto industry and showcase its capacity for self-critique and reflection to the wider world," said an HTX spokesperson.
Next week, this intellectually stimulating, entertaining, and professional debate tournament begins. The first match will go live on December 10 at 8:00 PM. Don’t miss this thrilling showdown led by champions of the New National Debate! HTX warmly invites all blockchain and Web3 enthusiasts to join and witness this pinnacle clash of ideas and wisdom.
