I think it does. Several stated points included: very high candidate count with extremely high standards and acceptance rate; Lots of resources on making sure athletes physical and mental health are top notch; lots of resources on analyzing strong opponents’s physical and mental abilities.
relatively small space required for playing as a recreational sport, but for professional table tennis, it requires a lot more space than you think. ITTF regulations require a playing space of at least 14 m (45.9 ft) long by 7 m (23.0 ft) wide, and a height clearance of at least 5 m (16.4 ft).[32] For wheelchair events, the minimums are 8 m (26.2 ft) long and 6 m (19.7 ft) wide.[32]. But when it comes to the even bigger tournaments, it's even bigger. If you take a look at any major table tennis tournament, the playing area is usually probably as big (if not bigger) than a tennis court. Crazy to think about. Also affordability is debatable. Cheap equipment is cheap, but for proper equipment it can get expensive. Yes not as expensive as some other sports, but more expensive than you think.
I hope the Chinese government remembers this, all throughout successes, I hope they will always remember that this sport brings peace and unity very opposite with what CHINA and it's government doings.
@1:47, that man, Rong Guo Tuan, was not only the 1st TT champion from China. Rong was the founder of Chinese TT. Rong was born and developed his TT skills in Hong Kong. Hong Kong was then a colony of the brit thieves. Rong was a nationalist at heart and wanted to represent China in TT. Indeed, Rong won the ITTF World Singles Championship and developed a strong TT program for his country. Tragically, he was labeled as anti-revolution because he came from Hong Kong. Rong was subjected to non-stop bashing from Mao's red bandits. Rong finally succumbed to the bandits's torture and committed suicide inside his beloved country.
China is rife with corruption and forced behaviour. The CCP is far more concerned with appearances rather than the welfare of it's citizens. It is not a free country. It has no liberties. Chinas success in table tennis is a story of disappointment and manipulation of sport.
The title of your video is “Why China Dominates Table Tennis” but you only spent about a minute explaining it. The rest was about something else, which absolutely has nothing to do with the title of your video.
@@keekengho-jq1qeThat used to be the case in the 80's.Table tennis without the Olympics would have the same status as darts. Being an Olympic Champion has a lot more status ask Jorgen Persson who still gets ridiculously dejected when talking about his failure of getting a medal. All governments center their sports funding around Olympic cycles.
great vdeo
The video didn't really answer the question: why China has been so dominant in table tennis. The answer can be condensed to one world: resource.
Not just ressources but also the structure of the whole system behind this and the training processes
I think it does. Several stated points included: very high candidate count with extremely high standards and acceptance rate; Lots of resources on making sure athletes physical and mental health are top notch; lots of resources on analyzing strong opponents’s physical and mental abilities.
Also motivation. It's one of the few sports that does not rely on strength and height to win.
Equipements are relatively cheap and space required is relatively small. Very affordable sport.

So underrated!!
Which part? The game or the chinese players?
George " Chief" Braithwaite around 4:15
What do u mean?? They are dominating everything nowadays

It’s obvious. Never ending upcoming young players. They basically train always train four at one table.

Cowan? Likely should be Cohen, a common Jewish name, the player on the American part in the famous Ping pong diplomacy.
They didnt. Everyone have their period of brilliance. Nonsense myth.
China in ping pong is the most dominant country in a particular sport in the Olympic games
@@moonlightyegui6904 World championship is the pinnacle of the game not olympics. in case u are unaware.
World championships are twice as frequent as the Olympics. And still, the Chinese have the most WTTC and WTTTC titles
