I don't know that's much about china but having this much english speaking chineese and this much people knowing adam while this is the country of ping pong and i don't see why would they listen to him casting game. Plus everybody knows him and there is not a single one table tennis player@@invisi1407

[@ParrotsTT]

I would have laughed so hard if you see a line of the chinese national men and womens team just waiting for their money 😂😂

[@minhnhat]

I'm honestly surprised. I would have expected more challenging players in this video ! Maybe try challenging them at one of their already installed ping pong tables at one of their park where more ping pong enthusiast play :)

[@testie__111]

It looked like he was at some festival. I think you would find a lot more challenging players in a public park or street

[@aseq2]

It's not like every Chinese person is a secret kung-fu master either...I found the average level at clubs wasn't even that high when i was there. The total amount of players just ensures their top players reach way higher levels

[@minhnhat]

@@aseq2 bruh I don't see the correlation between being a kung fu master and the average level of ping pong players from different country. There's more density of ping pong tables in China than anywhere else in the world so more exposure to the sport there which is why I would have expected more people knowing how to play. Just like there are more baseball field in the US than anywhere else in the world. Of course not everyone in the US has swung a bat but I'd expect more people to have done so in the US than in China.

[@taohe1208]

Adam is a very good player. I'm not surprised that he didn't lose many games. But most of the people he played against in this video obviously don't play ping pong regularly. Most of them are merely trying to return the ball. Elementary school & middle school kids who play ping pong between classes regularly are better than his opponents in this video, although they may still not be good enough to beat Adam in a serious game. It'll probably be a good match if Adam plays against members of a middle school ping pong team.

[@yaqiwang5242]

I can say confidently that it’s a myth saying all Chinese are good at ping pong.

[@khezoboi]

I honestly hope a local club challenges you to play their best players, similar to Indonesia as it'd be interesting to see how you'd fare against them.

[@_APV_]

He probably went to China not only to play vs average festival people, I bet there's gonna be more videos with stronger players. Some amateur club or a spot with tables where amateurs play would be fun.

[@Random_Person-ut7ek]

yeah, that would definitely be more of a challenge for Adam, though his bank account might suffer.

[@fahadaliqureshi5038]

[@macgyveriii2818]

In Canada, this is the same as hockey. We all watch it. Not that many can acually play it. In fact, table tennis skills might be higher than hockey skills, just because of the cost to play.

[@SchengW]

the low cost was also why the poor china started to play it so much in 70s

[@cooperhawk988]

Hockey is so much more expensive than table tennis.

[@zihaosong9933]

Maybe it's regional specific, but I believe it's way affordable to play table tennis in China than ice hockey. Agreed with your example of hockey in Canada!

easy, its jusst like anywhere else,normal ppl are just normal ppl

[@THEITAGAMER]

@@evilsquizz ok, but in other countries he found good players and their are also normal people. In China neither one 🤔

[@thai33oz]

I don't think he alert any of his fans that he's coming. I think mainly because his platform is KZbin, which is ban in China. So either he has a very small fanbase in China because of youtube. Or he doesn't have the proper platform to communicate with them that he's coming. He had to settle with normies.

[@john26660]

This was not my experience. In 2005 I travelled to Xi'an and played in a park that had multiple tables. The worst player I faced was about a 1300 level. Most were 1700+ and just casual players. The "Pro" table players allowed me to play a few games and I got destroyed.

[@Red4350]

he picked a casual park that doesnt have ping pong type events

[@xuchenglin6256]

Yeah next time you should choose a local park with free pingpong tables there! You'll meet some weird grandpas/grandmas with incredible skills... and unique styles! (but don't panic you won't go broke if you play to 5 points, no pro plays there). But you are correct that people are just people! In China everyone have played pingpong, but not too many of them later become competitive. You just witnessed the WORST part of the Chinese sports system -- the pros are too faraway from the people. It has its historical reasons that back then all sports -- Pingpong included -- are not meant for people. It's only for the pros to compete in the international games for "the glory of the country", and for the rest of us to watch them on TV and shed tears of "how great our country is". Well how you become a pro??? The pros are selected at a very young age and were sent into special "athletic schools" to be trained to be an national athlete... It's a national funded pyramidal system that works from county to city to province to nation level. Once you are in, you'll be cut from the outside of the world, you'll get paid as if you have a job (don't know if it's still the case now at lower level). You won't see them in your local "normal" schools because they are not in it. They train 24*7 and don't worry about exams. They don't worry about going to high school or university. You don't see them and they don't see you. It's very unlikely in China that your buddy who is the 1st place in your school that will still be let's say top3 or top5 in your regional meet. Because that's the only time you'll notice that these "athletic school" guys/gals exists... They will smoke you and make you feel like a joke... So what's the point of being competitive if you are already not in the system and are guaranteed to lose??? During our adolescent years me and my buddies spend huge time playing Pingpong, basketball and all kinds of sports, but no one has ever think about being competitive or get a coach or even deliberately practice some skills. We just play for fun. I believe that's the case all over the country. In China the pros don't arise from general populations, they are in a parallel system. They don't work their way up in local club races. They don't have the brand exposure responsibility to sponsors, they don't need to get public attention to recruit students to coach to make a living. They are paid workers by the country who doesn't care about the outside. That's why even if China has the strongest Pingpong team, but the level of general population is not proportional to it. Now things are changing but the inertia of the old system is huge. Especially at the national level, for the number of medals, the old system works. Next time you should try challenge "the other system" and see how your money goes! I bet Xu Xin will know well how you will find that "the other system".

[@hannibot]

[@khriebztetso]

@@Red4350 I don't have high expectations too..at least I expected an average player or even below average but everyone he played with is like I've never played it only watched players💔 Compared to China being a high tt participation country,indonesians were much better excluding those professionals and those who came after their friends called them..

[@prodbyjepta]

@@olgierdanotv1893 I think he meant that table tennis is a huge sport in China and most people are very good at it

[@melfox215]

At my university in Germany, there were quite a lot of Chinese students. Two of them became good friends. None of those two plays table tennis (they prefer basketball), but once they told me about an annual Chinese tournament in town as they knew I had played competitively in my childhood. So I participated. There were around 30 players and, unfortunately, I played the later champion of that tournament. So I lost the first match and got to the b-round and won all matches then. I think, in total there were 4 to 6 players better than me of the 30. One of them was German as well. In order to that, I think it is simply a matter of numbers. China is a huge country with more than 1 billion people and table tennis is a relevant (not the only!) sport for them. So there are many great players, but also many poor players (like anywhere).

[@chinhuatseah9375]

When I was young, at Chinese New Year, the Great Hall of the People in Beijing used to hold parties for five days, the members of the national table tennis team did the same, people waited in lines to challenge them, everybody got three chances, you only need to win one point to win a racket ticket which can be used to exchange for some prizes😊

[@michelrenaud3431]

Adam went to a park where there are no ping pong players but young people attracted by being on the camera and connecting with Adam, as a result, from the perspective of connecting with young Chinese people, this is great. But from the perspective of table tennis, well.... I see this as an opportunity missed to do something else in China in addition to what he did,... go to a park where there are lots of tables outdoor and Chinese people of all ages playing every day. An exemple if the outdoor ping pong facility at Chaoyong Park in Beijing, about 20 tables at one spot with people playing all day long. That would be fun and will lead to great games with you, some grandpa and grandma would give you a hard time. The other thing that would be interesting is to go to a sport high school like the one that was next to the hotel where I stayed on about 10 of my 40 trips to china. I could see from my window teenagers playing at about 15 or 20 tables outside in the school yard, the caliber was very good if not great. Such videos would give us an insight into what kind of base there is for table tennis in China which leads to so much strength on the provincial and national teams.

[@SpookyBeast1917]

Does Adam post anywhere where hes going to be hosting these or he just does it randomly? Would like to attend one in the tsbles by 33rd in NYC if he ever does it again.

[@Ellieemo]

It would be very challenging for you to go to the park and look for the older people who play ping pong. Those people are the real OG ping pong players hiding in the world.

[@HardbatProductions]

I've played in a fair number of table tennis clubs in China, in various cities - surely not as many as you have, but a fair amount. In my experience, comparing to playing in clubs in America, the weakest players in the Chinese clubs are stronger than the weakest players here, presumably because everyone learns some basics in school. But the strongest players in clubs are sometimes better here in the U.S. than in China, because the strongest players in Chinese cities aren't playing in their local clubs, they are working in training centers or playing professionally in some capacity. Here in the U.S. you can walk into a local club and face a national champion - that would rarely if ever happen in China. I suspect the same is true in reverse for sports that are more popular here, like baseball.

It is really surprising that the street level in China is so bad. You played more than 50 players and most of them were on absolute beginner level. I remember seeing your video with the same premise when you played in a park in Cologne/Germany. Most of those players would have busted these Chinese players up. 😅 I mean, of course on an international level China clearly is world number 1.
