Chinese So Special

Hi Jeff and Alois

What makes Chinese players so special in table tennis.  Is their skill, technique, temperament, killer instinct, professional approach towards game, hardwork or easily identifying opponents mistake?

Is they do anything different which other players are not able to cope up with?  I was watching some videos on the youtube.  They were returning ping pong ball like a football.

Hi Ram,

I think one of the basic things is the amount they train.  This coupled with the talent pool they have to choose from will make a good combination and a high top end of the pyramid.
