Table tennis was not invented by the British

Yes, table tennis originated in the United Kingdom. Europeans still refer to table tennis as "table tennis", which shows that table tennis was developed from tennis. At the end of the 19th century, tennis was popular in Europe, but due to the limitations of the venue and weather, some British university students moved tennis indoors, using the dining table as a table, books as a net, and parchment paper as a racket, and playing around on the table.

At the beginning of the 20th century, table tennis flourished in Europe and Asia. In 1926, the International Table Tennis Invitational Tournament was held in Berlin, Germany. (later posthumously recognized as the first World Table Tennis Championships) and the International Table Tennis Federation was established at the same time.

The widespread development of table tennis has led to great improvements in rackets and balls, the original racket was a slightly processed wooden board, and later someone pasted a layer of sheepskin on the racket, and with the development of modern industry, Europeans pasted the rubber with rubber particles on the racket. In the early 50s, the Japanese invented rackets with thick sponges, the first ball was a rubber ball similar to a tennis ball, and in 1890, British athlete Gibb brought back some celluloid balls from the United States as toys for table tennis. Among the many table tennis competitions, the most prestigious is the World Table Tennis Championships, which were initially held once a year and then changed to a biennial event after 1957.

In 1904, Wang Daowu, the owner of a stationery store in Shanghai, bought back 10 sets of table tennis equipment from Japan. Since then, table tennis has been introduced to China.

Table tennis is a specialty in China, so it is strong. Table tennis originated in England, but the UK loves football more. In the beginning, the UK and Europe were still dominant, but now Asia is stronger.

Table tennis, known as China's "national sport", was introduced to China in 1904 by Wang Daowu, a businessman from Shanghai. China's table tennis level is extremely high, when the Europeans created a new way of playing arc circle combined with fast attack and fast attack combined with arc circle, Chinese athletes created a representative Asian style of straight board chipping fast attack technology, so that the world table tennis presented a new situation of confrontation between Europe and Asia, and made outstanding contributions to the development of world table tennis. The Chinese table tennis men's and women's teams have won all the championships in world-class competitions many times, and a large number of dazzling stars have emerged, which also have a huge impact on the technical and tactical style of the world table tennis world.

Politically relevant. In the 70s of the 20th century, when Sino-US relations were extremely tense, China invited the American table tennis team to visit China, and then the Chinese table tennis team paid a return visit. This has become a new starting point for improving Sino-US relations. Soon after, Nixon visited China, which was the first visit to China by the United States.

Therefore, people call this historical event "ping-pong diplomacy".

It's the same as why football originated in China, but we're not good at it!

Because China has the strength to win it with its own strength!
