1) these figures are bogus. You go off the number of chinese people who studied english in school. over 400m to be precise, so how cananyone say 10m? so bogus.
you might argue about their competence with the english language but that is irrelevant to the point.
2) According to Credit Suisse estimates, the number of dollar-millionaires residing in China totaled 6.2 million individuals, not just that..if you factor in HK, over 400k there aswell.
you said 780k millionaires, that is fkin laughable.
im referring more to their affinity to western sports and culture aswell as the possibility of boxing growing in china esp when they have Zhang
im not saying it will be, but it can be if they pulled their fingers out of their a**es.
thar market could lay the US market to waste....and here it doesnt matter how rich the americans are, because the boxing audience is small in the US.
i also think Zhang is just one of many. China with it's population could become a factory for boxing if their government wanted that.
With the popularity of recently crowned flyweight world titleholder Zou Shiming -- and the interest of promoters and sponsors -- pro boxing in China has taken off.

The numbers are accurate. Just because you can say hi, how are you =---> doesn't make you conversational or a speaker of the language. They have a lot of loan words to for salad, hamburger, and chocolate, doesn't make them en English conversational speaker. I worked for a Chinese business owner when I was a late teen, he studied English for 30 years and could say maybe 10 sentences. Take, you go here. Put in garbajer (garbage), I go back my parmer (apartment).

When I was in college I dated a Chinese girl, I helped her friend with her English =---> she studied English for YEARS back home in Beijing, could barely speaka lick. Could ask my name, what movies I liked, what food I liked, could say her English was bad, etc. I can do that in 4-5 languages, I don't go around saying I can speak those languages.
My source is Business Insider =---> a very reputable source, what's your's =---> Joe Schmoe's Blogspot lmao?
Also, what little millionaires they have =---> they're leaving is mass numbers.
Source: https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Chin...is-year-reportAn exodus of Chinese millionaires is expected to continue this year, according to a new report by investment migration consultancy Henley & Partners, as the economy slows and the government tightens political controls.
China is expected to see a net outflow of 13,500 high net worth individuals this year, extending the loss of millionaires in the past decade, according to the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report.
While the country is estimated to have 823,800 millionaires, the emigration trend could see millions of dollars brought with those leaving, which could worsen China's sharp economic slowdown.

Data from the firm showed that a net 10,800 high-net-worth individuals migrated out of China in 2022, and another net 13,500 are expected to leave this year.
This is not an issue that started with the coronavirus pandemic, and has been going on for the last 10 years.
Source: https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-e...damaging-usualOriginally posted by South CHina Morning PostChina will once again see the world’s biggest annual outflow of US-dollar millionaires, according to a new forecast for this year that comes amid subdued economic conditions, lingering fallout from the pandemic, and poor relations with some of its major trading partners.
Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/more-...105304661.htmlOriginally posted by Yahoo FinanceChina had around 780,000 millionaires at the end of 2022, the firm estimates, making the country the third wealthiest in the world, behind the U.S. and Japan. Yet the growth in the wealthy population has been negligible since 2017, writes Andrew Amolis, head of research at New World Wealth, which worked with Henley & Partners on the report.
In total, the consulting firm projects that 122,000 millionaires will relocate this year, up from 84,000 last year. The U.K. and Russia take third and fourth place respectively in terms of projected net outflows of millionaires.
Get owned tosser. You can't just ask Google a question and post the first hit thinking that's legit. Post sources, legitmate sources or keep getting owned.
And guess what =---> Chinese HATE boxing lmao.
Lastly, millionaires very rarely even watch TV. I know a few and they don't watch anything, like zero. Too busy staying rich.Comment

hard effin cope lol
'i worked for a chinese businessman'
mate ive been to china many times, Ningbo, Shenzhen, HK...at 18 i was in my bedroom at home talking to a chinese guy aged 24 in his factory showing me car dvd units and he understood everything clearly despite having never left china. ive imported from china for 20 yrs and most of that container loads. i used to have hundreds of contacts on my msn and skype. i never ever had a problem conversing with people when i was there, they understood me.
the ones who dont speak english arent in the big cities, they cant find jobs there, they're back home in the village. this image of a chinaman stumbling to put together a few english words is just made up by your imaginary hollywood dream. irl these people are trading with the world and are competent.
the fact that is 400m have literally studied English at school, whatever their level of competence in english, my overall point points to the ability of western sports like boxing to blow up in china. Essentially it is about culture.
literally the US ppv market is 1m...china could blow that off the park IF they adopted boxing.
the US has all these millionaires and billionaires yet only 2.5m max watched mayweather vs pacquaio and that was mostly regulr boxing fans.
i said china has millions of millionaires...why are you crying that this isnt true? the exodus doesnt mean anything, they're still chinese.
my only point about the growth of boxing is that 'if' they adopted it, the money is there..and they'd leave US boxing in the dust.
US boxing is dead...only the mexicans are paying. it wont be hard for the chinese to take over boxing IF they were so inclined to push it.
however i doubt their government is interested. my only point was 'if they were'.
you really are in deep depression over this topic. i hope your reply doesnt kill you man. go eat a kit kat and chill the eff out
