50,000,000 that is roughly equivalent to the population of England

As soon as you bring China in to any arguement regarding 'popular' or 'most' you're on a loser...

Pro rata is where the arguement's at!

Fool you believe anything posted on the internet.

Dragon boat racing as a CULTURAL event is different from a sport. People participate in fishing, yet they do not do it as a sport. Dragonboat racing is like a carnival procession, not a sport.

If you had a brain, you would realise that 50 million people competing at dragon boat racing is as ridiculous as you volleyball statistcs.

You really think that 50 million people in China race dragon boats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know nothing of Chinese culture and are incredibly gullible.

Fishing is a sport.

Cricket is a cultural event.
