Reply to comment by Most-Performer-5064 in New Zealand women lawmakers outnumber men for the first time. by flabbywoofwoof

By that logic one would expect China to dominate every sport.

China don't PLAY every sport. Their cricket team is shit. (So is the US's, just quietly).

But for the national game? (Table tennis) Yeah, pretty dominant, really.

That's the point though. Numerical representational doesn't matter if you don't account for sociological, political, economical, cultural, etc. factors.
