Chinese players have also been doing particularly well on the OneAsia tour with the nation's leading golfer, Liang Wenchong, winning last year's Order of Merit.
"Liang is one of the best players in Asia and a real role model for the young players. I expect more and more players can learn from him and become a star like him in the future," Chun said.
Meanwhile, Liang has shown great interest in the new tournament, which offers total prize money of $1 million.
"I' was very lucky to win the Order of Merit last season. This year I will try my best and continue to give good performances on the tour," said the 32-year-old.
"I play more than 30 tournaments every year, which is already a pretty tight schedule. But I really want to play in the Nanshan China Masters. Hopefully, I can make it.
"The event will also provide a very good platform for our young players to experience high-level competition. That's how I grew up."
South Korean Kim Dae-hyun, the winner of last year's Maekyung Open in Seoul, and Michael Henry of New Zealand, who claimed last season's Indonesia Open, have confirmed their participation in Nanshan.

just not to that point yet
Woods then lost in the first round at the World Golf Championships Match Play event in Arizona two weeks ago.
As Woods spoke about needing to get more tournaments under his belt, he was asked why does he not play more often.
"Because I have a family," he said. "I'm divorced. If you've been divorced with kids, you would understand."
Left unsaid was that Woods has never played more than a sparse schedule since turning professional in 1996.
If Woods' comments on Wednesday were somewhat predictable, the same cannot be said of his current instructor, Sean Foley, and his previous coach, Hank Haney.
In an interview with Canadagolf, Foley took aim at the critics who have been questioning Woods' swing changes.
"So he's struggling when he's in the hunt," Foley said. "And they say, 'How does Tiger Woods struggle when he's in the hunt? Look at what he did for so long?'
"New days. New times," Foley said. "You're absolutely probably an invalid if you don't think what he went through hasn't affected his belief system."
Haney subsequently weighed in, via Twitter, where he wrote: "Maybe Foley should stop talking until Tiger wins 6 more majors under him!"

Poulter then posted a picture of himself
Westwood chimed in to Woods with a taunt of his own.
"Is it true you've dyed your hair Ginger,signed a deal with IJP (Ian James Poulter) clothing and bought a White Ferrari cos your (sic) in awe of Poults?" he said, using Poulter's nickname.
Woods, meanwhile, was responding to more mainstream fare, such as who was his choice to win the Super Bowl. The Stanford University alumnus went against the alum of rival California, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodger.
"I'm picking the Steelers, can't pull for Rodgers he's a CAL guy," Woods tweeted.
Woods also replied when asked about comedian Dave Chappelle's portrayal of Woods in a comedy sketch seven years ago when "Woods" was selected by "blacks" with the top selection in a "Racial Draft" of multi-ethnicity celebrities.
"At least I was #1 pick back then, fo' shizzle," Woods tweeted.
Asked to choose between late rap stars Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur, Woods replied, "Tupac" then signed off.
His next public words are set to come at a Wednesday news conference.

Twitter exchange for about 40 minutes on
World No 3 picks Pittsburgh to clinch Super Bowl over the Packers on Feb 6
LA JOLLA, California - Tiger Woods conducted a Twitter exchange for about 40 minutes on Tuesday on his way to Torrey Pines ahead of his 2011 debut while golf rivals Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter tweeted some taunts.
Continuing a charm offensive that began with Woods joining the social networking medium last year, Woods made the Pittsburgh Steelers his Super Bowl pick over Green Bay and even poked fun at himself.
But he never answered the challenge of Poulter to post a photo of himself to prove it was indeed Woods who was issuing the messages nor commented on a tweet from world No 1 Westwood about fellow Englishman Poulter.
Neither Westwood nor Poulter will face Woods when the 14-time major champion tees off on Thursday at the $5.8 million Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines alongside fellow Americans Anthony Kim and Rocco Mediate.
Woods overcame a knee injury that would require surgery to defeat Mediate in an 18-hole playoff at Torrey Pines for the 2008 US Open title, but he has not won a major title since and has not won any event since his epic sex scandal erupted 14 months ago.
The Twitter exchange on Tuesday morning began when Woods posted an invitation to "followers": "Heading off to Torrey today, thought i'd answer a few questions".
Woods advised a pre-teen prodigy's father to have his son improve every year and plugged Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters, being on his new videogame, saying, "Incredible to have one of the most historic courses on planet in the game."
Poulter, an avid tweeter, took notice of the Woods offer and tweeted Westwood "What shall we ask him" then posted to Woods "come on tiger when are you going to join the lads for some banter".
After viewing a few answers, Poulter tweeted Westwood that he was dubious Woods was the man writing the tweets, teasing Woods by referring to the fact he had fallen to third in the world rankings on Monday, the lowest spot for Woods since he first claimed the top ranking.
"I'm not having it that No3 is writing his own tweets. He doesn't want to play," Poulter tweeted and Westwood quickly agreed.

adding to the woes of the Premier League club
Arsenal and England midfielder Jack Wilshere could be out until late February after undergoing ankle surgery on Monday, adding to the woes of the Premier League club.
He suffered a stress fracture of his right ankle in a pre-season friendly and it failed to heal naturally.
"The initial indications are that the surgery has been successful and Jack will now undergo a prolonged period of rehabilitation," a club statement said.
"It is envisaged Jack's rehabilitation will take a period of four to five months."
Arsenal are 12th in the league after six games and have struggled without the midfielder, who had forced his way into the England first team before his injury.

Champions League at home to Olympiakos on Wednesday
LONDON - Robin van Persie has emerged as the man to lead Arsenal out of their early-season funk and the Dutch striker will be a key figure in ensuring their rehabilitation continues in the Champions League at home to Olympiakos on Wednesday.
Van Persie, club skipper in the wake of Cesc Fabregas's exit to Barcelona, scored twice in a 3-0 home victory against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday - a win that helped steady the ship after the club's worst start to a Premier League campaign.
Despite that fillip there is still a long way to go before the doom-mongers disperse and anything short of victory on Wednesday against a club with an abysmal record in England would offer them more ammunition.
Olympiakos have lost all nine away games against English opposition in Europe, conceding 29 goals in the process and scoring just once - a record that suggests even an Arsenal side in transition should build on their opening draw in Dortmund with a convincing home win.
Van Persie, 28, has scored five goals already this season and Wenger believes the Dutchman, who British media reported on Monday was in no rush to extend his current deal beyond 2013, is now mature enough to lead from the front, both as a goalscorer and a motivator.
"Robin has matured from the boy who was a little bit emotionally impulsive when he arrived to the guy he is today," Wenger told Arsenal's website.
"It was difficult to predict but he is intelligent, he speaks his mind and you can talk to him as well. He takes advice and overall he has developed very well.
"I think he has a combination of leadership on the pitch. He is technically a super-talent, certainly, and you gain respect from the others. Now he has added the second part, that means speaking his mind."
In the wake of the defensive mayhem of an 8-2 defeat at Manchester United and a 4-3 loss at Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal looked far more secure against Bolton with German Per Mertesacker assuming the role of organiser at the back.
"After the four goals against Blackburn we lost a little bit of confidence but we were very proud of our performance on Saturday," he said. "We want to go on with this way of defending."
Arsenal have a formidable record at the Emirates in the Champions League and Wenger knows smooth progression to the knockout rounds will depend on avoiding any upsets at home.
"In the Champions League, you need 11 points to qualify (from the group stage) - that means you have to take nine at home and two or three away," Wenger said. "We got an interesting point in Dortmund and we know after if we do well at home, then we will qualify."
Theo Walcott's expected recovery from a knock sustained against Bolton will be a major boost for Wenger who initially thought the England flyer had suffered a serious injury.
They will definitely be without Jack Wilshere though while fellow midfielder Yossi Benayoun is unlikely to have recovered from a thigh strain.
Olympiakos head into the match in better shape than they were for their opening group match against Marseille two weeks ago when they lost 1-0 in Athens.
Ernesto Valverde's team had not played a competitive match before that game due to the fact their opening two Super League games were postponed as a result of a match-fixing scandal.

The Greek Champions have since won both of their Super League fixtures.
Valverde has minimal injury worries with the only notable absentee being Greece starlet Giannis Fetfatzidis, who is still recovering from a groin strain. Midfielders Francisco Yeste and Ljubomir Fejsa both face late fitness tests.
