No. People here love to play.

There is just no systemic program for development as exists with as diverse a sports as archery and weightlifting.

That, I can't figure out especially with the likes of Yao Ming.

Weird.

I don't know.

They even have a CBA.

The men suck at football (soccer) too but the women were once very good and are still respectable.

Maybe they are starving, having been denied Chinese-produced meat because of the additives?
