I kind of have my own theory about this, but I'm wondering, first of all, what you would say if you were...

tasked with this idea that everybody seems to want that we need to have like a, a, a national team.

That's as good as anybody in the world.

What do you think would need to happen?

Well, it's sort of, I do.

Okay.

So, um, okay.

It's going to kind of seem meandering, but, uh, so like after the communist revolution in China, uh,

OK, OK.

China's this sort of what's once like this mostly agrarian country.

You know, now it's it's it's poor that this the entire country has been sort of thrown into chaos.

But they need they want to become a world power in every context.

They want to sort of be a, you know, a, you know, not just in economically, but also like in things like sports and arts.

So, you know, they made a very conscious decision.

They looked at the world of sports and they said, what is a sport that is not emphasized anywhere else?

And that there is no sort of problem with the physicality and the size of our athletes or whatever.

And what they came to the conclusion, one of those things was like table tennis, like ping pong.

We can dominate.

Like they made a choice to become a ping pong power.

And that happened.
