Yes, China has more weightlifting gold medals than any other country, but I think the original point was that Chinese culture does not emphasize gym results so many Chinese men are weaker, less muscular than men in the West. It's improving but still true. Chinese society emphasizes career and intellect with one's prospects determined by one's scholastic ranking as a child and one's job title and salary as an adult. Meanwhile, in the US, kids are not ranked scholastically and many people would be happy to have a job doing menial work while emphasizing, "These GAINS!! Bro, do you even LIFT!!" Nobody has ever heard of such idiot culture in China. That is also why we are just flying past everyone in tech, but if you measure gym bros, China has far less. Can't have it all, eh?
