China vying for a sporting chance

Do the math: there are 1.4 billion people in China, give or take. And the planet is currently home to around 7.6 billion, also give or take.

That means 18.4 percent of the world is Chinese, or nearly one in five.

Therefore, if the Japan's Yomiura Giants baseball team, the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League, Tottenham Hoptspur of the Premier League as well as the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association all had rosters of 20 athletes each, then there should naturally be four Chinese Giants, four Chinese Rangers, four Chinese Spurs, and four Chinese Raptors.
