Game's in a healthy state, says Wang

Many pundits believe China's supremacy in badminton is seriously hurting the game's global popularity.

However, a former world No 1 shuttler doesn't buy into that argument at all.

Wang Xin, the 2010 Asian Games champion and a 2011 Sudirman Cup winning team member, said during the launch of the 2013 Red Bull Amateur Badminton Tournament that she does not fear the game's appeal will decline due to China's strangehold at major events.
