badminton has always been a strong sport of Chinese, no matter in mainland, or indon, or msia, and now taiwan. I don't know why. Seems like we've been playing for generations.
some say badminton was invented by Chinese and the shuttler and racquet also designed by Chinese

Because mat salleh normally prefer tennis to badminton in terms of racket sport. Countries like Germany, USA and Canada most if not all of their players are Chinese.

Then its not really chinese's "strong sport" right, just that mat salleh didn't really play badminton.
Its like saying American football can always been American "strong sport", or sumo has always been Japanese "Strong sport"

That's correct, if there are as many players playing the sport in western countries I am sure the angmoh can dominate as well (Peter Gade/Viktor Axelsen).
Looking at the results of the Olympics at the moment, can we have some sense of balance and proportion and objective performance evaluation instead of subjective and uncritical feeling?
Rank Place Gold Silver Bronze Total Population Population/medal
1 China 21 13 12 46 1445 31.4 2 Japan 17 5 8 30 126 4.2 3 USA 16 17 13 46 333 7.2 4 Taiwan 11 15 11 37 23 0.6 70 Malaysia 0 0 1 1 32 32.0
This is only an interim snapshot of the performance and the bottomline is still to come for us to determine which country performance gives outstanding deals in terms of millions of population to a medal ratio before reforming the way sports is paid for by the public in each country.
Looking just at the above figures, can we not claim that Malaysia and China are roughly level in requiring 32 million persons to produce a medal? But Taiwan is 53 x more effective in producing medals? Japan is 7.6 x better, and USA is 4.4 x better not counting the quality of the medal.
