Categories: East Asia, China, Arts & Culture, Sport, Women & Gender

Li Yin-he, a Mainland Chinese professor on woman studies tried to explain why Chinese people are not good at football [1] by confucian culture and the national character of a peasant state: Chinese masculinity are more intellectual (zh). Virtual China has translated part of her viewpoints into English [2]. However, Korean also uphold confucianism and they play much better football. The cultural explanation is too Han-centered.
