https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_in_China https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_in_China The Chinese Basketball Association puts the player count in China at 300 million today. Almost 200 million people watched a single non-championship basketball game in 2007. That’s the thing, people just completely misunderstand the scale of China (and India). When talking about population based stats the rest of the world doesn’t matter.
