Why is China so good at table tennis?

Question

Why is China so good at table tennis?

Answer 1

I guess it all boils down to how popular the sport is in that country.  Table tennis is popular in China thus the success.  Swimming is popular in Australia thus the success and so on.

Answer 2

Because it doesn't require b***s or a butt.

Answer 3

because they are good at table tennis

Answer 4

Because they have lots of young talents and good coaches in China to breed those youngsters, and i mean they are really that good!

Answer 5

I'm just repeating what the commentator on the TV said.

He said under one of Mao's movements, it put 'brotherhood' before 'competition' meaning the chinese weren't all that competitive or into sports.  The only exception was table tennis.  Imagine if the US was stripped of all sports (baseball, football, basketball, hockey, whatever) in favour of airhockey.  They'd be pretty great at airhockey.

Other than that there is absolutely not reason why they'd have so much better hand-eye cordination or whatever.

Answer 6

cause they were born to play table tennis

Answer 7

Wax on wax off...
