Indian sindhu thrashes chinese in badminton

[beijingwalker]

Women double just finished, China won. The 14th consecutive world champion in this event... 14 times in a row, boring..

Chinese players reached finals for 4 events in this championship, but no one here in China cares, today's sports section doesn't even mention anything about it. Chinese athletes win some kind of world champions everyday, most of those wins just go unnoticed.

If it was not for Indians here, I would't even know there is a badminton championship going on these days.

Both China and India were the victims of Japanese brutality during WWII. For China, Nanking massacre is a wound that never heals, and for India, though few know, Japanese ate Indian POWs during WWII. I am sensitive to this subject because some Indian members tend to refer to Nanking massacre to insult Chinese when they lost arguments, without knowing wh
at their soldiers suffered in the hand of Japanese Imperial army.

Is that occurrence, which I accept without investigation or questioning for the sake of the argument, a good reason for putting words in my mouth, thoughts in my mind? Just to remind you, this is the precise wording I used:

Indians were winning Olympic golds when the Chinese were coping with Japanese massacres.

Does mentioning the fact of having to cope with a massacre an insult? If you look at the dates, you will understand why a victory - several victories, in fact - was juxtaposed with a horrific period in another narrative.

And I know about the murderous habits of the IJA reasonably well; you may or may not remember the picture of blindfolded Sikh soldiers being used for target practice by Japanese soldiers that was put up some years ago.

2 hours ago there was nothing on the sports section, now after China just won some events and you can finally see one line note that China just won another world champion. But you have to look very closely to get the information. People just don't care, things like that happens everyday.

It's a bold move for Indians talking about sports in front of China. When you have no sense of shame , nothing can stop you.

What about Chess? Do Chinese like chess?

Most Chinese like Chinese chess and Go. Chess is a foreign mind game and not many people in China like it, but still we won several world champions.

China is a major chess power, with the women's team winning silver medals at the Olympiad in 2010, 2012, and 2014; the men's team winning gold at the 2014 Olympiad, and the average rating for the country's top ten players second in the FIDE rankings at the end of 2014.

But still, very very few Chinese know how to play chess. We have Chinese chess and Go, they are more fun.

I don't think Chinese ever won World Chess Championship. And it's not like Chess is major sport in India too, but more of a hobby.

Almost no Chinese play this game anyway, what I said is they won some world champions,that's it. No big deal. No one knows them in China, Xiangqi and Go game masters are popular in China.
