Why doesn't China Dominate Team sports like they dominate Individual Sports

I think the initial question is somewhat misleading. It is not so much about dominating team sports, as in competing against other countries, but about the presence and eminence of team oriented sports in one's own country. In the US, those would be 'football', basketball, and baseball. For Britain and Australia, for example, it would be 'football' or soccer and rugby. Do note that I quoted 'football'. For Japan the most prominent would be baseball and Japanese players have made the professional circuits in the US.

I agree with you here.

Although Japan along with South Korea has played in successive soccer world cups and played well.Thats a huge success for an east asian team considering the sport in Asia was dominated by Gulf countries.
 
i don't like the thread because it has nothing to do with china defense. but i agree with the author to some content.
however, Basketball, not the case.
China basketball men team, they impressed the world. defeated Germany, almost defeat Spain(silver medal) in 2008 beijing.
basketball women team, they were No.2 in the past.
soccer women team, not the case, they used to be no.2 in the world.

but when it comes to soccer men team, china team sucks. we all know. we call them LV team, because they all have LV bags and they are rich, spend a lot of money all the time. they perform the worst comparing to the other china teams. they suck. i believe no one has different opinion.
 
For the record, India won 1 pistol gold in 2008 -- the most team oriented sport yet.

But clarifications aside, snyc diving, team gymnastics, badminton, rowing are all team sports. The events you mentioned (excluding cricket) are all considered intensive sports. The mongoloid build is no match to that of Africans and euroids. The same fault applies to South Asia caucasoids as well.

It troubles me to this day how wrestling is divided into weight classes, but a 6 foot plays the same basketball game as an 8 foot. Maybe Shorties' games don't sell?
Here we go with this crap again. Anybody who has ever taken a basic 1st year university course in anthropology knows that Homo Sapien genetic difference swithin a racial group are way greater than that of between. In another words, all five races are genetically identical without specific genes that makes them "better". Dietary customs has more to do with racial build than anything else.

But hey, why let science get in the way of ignorance. Who am I to shattered your dream?
 
I saw this video of a group of Chinese students combining football with Kung Fu. The skills they have is unbelievable. China will soon dominate every sport if they continue on producing talent like that :)

I think that Shaolin football was trained for show only and I dont think they can use those skill on the real match lol.BTW,if they could they will make the world surprise over them.

Give me a break.

Indians are not caucasoids.







Bhasin (2006), in the study Genetics of Castes and Tribes of India: Indian Population Milieu:

India has been peopled by human groups carrying a diversity of genes and cultural traits. We have almost all the primary ethnic strains Proto-Australoid, Mediterranean, Mongoloid, Negrito and a number of composite strains. It is homeland of over 4000 Mendelian populations, of which 3700 endogamous groups are structured in the Hindu caste system as ‘jatis’.

In short, the older view that north Indians are mainly Caucasoid whereas southern Indians are mainly Australoid is incorrect. Indians, both from the north and the south, seem to be a racially admixed population with each individual genotype exhibiting membership in multiple gene clusters, albeit in varying degrees in terms of Caucasoid/Mongoloid/Australoid admixture ratios. South Asian populations consist of an indigenous Australoid base combined with both Caucasoid and Mongoloid racial elements; Indo-Caucasoid (Indo-Aryan speakers and Coon’s hybrid Mediterranean strain) peoples tend to be concentrated in the east and west of India, Indo-Mongoloid (Tibeto-Burman speakers) seem to be concentrated in the north eastern region of the country, and Proto-Australoid/Indo-Dravidian peoples (Austro-Asiatic and Dravidian language speakers) are mostly found in the south, with peoples of full Australoid or “Negrito” origin located on the archipelagos (e.g. the Great Andamanese and Jarawa) surrounding the southern tip of the subcontinent.

To repeat, most of the major Indian populations are so racially admixed that they exhibit membership in multiple gene clusters and are therefore homogeneous genetically on a subcontinental level ."

We all know what are coffee, oil, vinegar and soy sauce.

If you mix 4 of them, you get neither of them, but a bizarre "cocktail".

Criket is very much orignated as ex-imperial British game as evidenced by the major player countries who are all members of British Commonwealth. It could catch up well in Hong Kong, but I doubt other parts of China would show much interest since there is no such British colonial tradition in this part of the world.

Success of team games very much co-related to TV media, sponsorship from corporations and billionaires, can you imagine football (both soccer and American football) with-out TV or radio, and all those billion dollars from adverisement and sales from T-shirts etc? Big money and public attentions attracts good talents and built good teams. It will take decades for China to catch on.

Basket ball is doing well because of CNBA promotion and presence of prominent Chinese players in US NBA.

You are 95% genetically identical to gorilla and 99% to chimpanzees. You think you can beat one in track and the other in field? For futher reference, compare the male genital sizes of Mongoloids to Caucasoids. You will notice significant differences.
 
Government invest in individual sports to get gold medals quick and cheap.
BTW, if you make 11 people a Ping Pong team and compete, China would probably still won the World Cup.

well there is really no competition in ping pong for china, the national competition is of a higher standard than international ones simply because one country can only enter so many athletes and in china the ones rejected are still better than the rest of the world.
 
China has won team Gynastics
They have also won diving team golds
Also other teams sports

Not sure where you getting at
