But not as popular as Chinese chess (xiangqi) as a game people actually play, though. Go might be more popular than xiangqi as a spectator sport; I don't know.

- xcombelle 11y agoI have some doubt that Chinese chess is popular in Japan and Korea
- taejo 11y agoI was responding to a comment specifically about China. Actually Janggi, the Korean variant of Chinese chess (yes, there are some rule differences, but it's recognizably the same game - like Chess without castling and en passant) is very popular, though according to Wikipedia currently less so than Go.
