Hi yoshi,
I don't think that JeO will do it again. Look at his results in the swedish league. He hardly wins a match. The time is against Waldner, he is now almost 36 years old.
I guess the young chinese players will make it in Japan. Wang Liqin, Ma Lin or someone else you never heard of

Everything is possible, but I do not expect an europan champion! The chinese are too far away...
