I already booked my flights; Steenvreter will only participate in the official ICGA events. Personally I think it is bad to have 3 competing tournaments so close to each other. I must say that I'm quite puzzled by the behavior of the local organizers in China. In my opinion, instead of running yet another tournament, professor Liu should have tried to supported the ICGA events with sponsorship for the Go competitions just as was done for the Chess tournament.

It is all the more amazing as Professor Liu is also an official member of the organizing committee of the Computer Olympiad. And when I talked to Mark Winands and David Levy about TaiZhou, they replied to me that they were not aware of that tournament!
The TaiZhou organizers simply collected e-mail addresses of participants registered to the Olympiad to announce their tournament. Maybe you were not registered yet when they did it.
