Comments on China's Zheng Jie in Wimbledon semi finals
soon or later, the world will know that the Chinese people conquer the world.
I suppose it's going to be much much "later" if Chinese people are to conquer the World Cup!
Agree with Spelunker... China can hardly become a superpower before soccer teams perform better. Well, my bad to link sports with politics at this time. But I think it's true.
