All of us disagree with this statement. They tried to impose hegemony on table tennis to protect the interests of developed countries with backward table tennis technology.
However, after improving the rules in a targeted way, because their skills are not too hard, they still lag behind the countries with advanced table tennis skills.
1, the same color is prohibited on both sides of the racket. Before 1984, rackets were colorful, black, red, blue and green. There are also many players who use rubber boards with different properties and the same color, and constantly turn over the boards in the competition, which makes their opponents puzzled. The most famous case is 1983. At the 37th World Table Tennis Championships, Cai Zhenhua played against Waldner. He used two rackets with different properties but the same color, and the changeable rotation made his opponent suffer a lot.
Therefore, 1985 ITTF stipulates that the thickness of the rubber sheet should not exceed 4.0mm, and the rubber sheets on both sides of the racket must be one red and one black, and the two sides cannot be the same color. It is convenient for athletes to judge the type of the opponent's rubber by color, so as to judge the nature of the ball. It is precisely because of this provision that Cai Zhenhua chose to retire after the 38th World Table Tennis Championships.

2, the small ball becomes a big ball. After the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, ITTF stopped using small table tennis with a diameter of 38mm and switched to large table tennis with a diameter of 40mm, which is called "small ball becomes big ball". The purpose of this rule is to reduce the speed of the ball and enhance the audience's appreciation. At that time, most players in China were good at fast break. After the rules are changed, the requirements for strength and physical fitness are higher, which is not good for the players in China.

3. Open serve. Before 2002, China athletes were good at the first three boards and scored points by serving. Among them, Liu's "blocking serve" technique is a must. At that time, there was a saying that "Yan Sen was cruel and slick, and the most difficult thing to deal with was crooked neck Liu". At that time, the game often ended in only one or two or three rounds. With the constant appeal of some countries and the support of ITTF, the open service of table tennis began to be implemented, which weakened the threat of service, increased the number of rounds of the game and made the game more ornamental. The implementation of this rule greatly reduced the technical advantage of China team.

4. Change the lottery system. In order to limit China's monopoly on medals, ITTF and the Olympic Committee Athens Olympic Games reformed the lottery system after 2004. In men's doubles and women's doubles, two pairs of players from the same team must be drawn into the same half area, so that China can't win gold and silver medals at the same time.
5. Limit the number of participants. In the 2009 Olympic Games, the maximum number of singles players per team decreased from 3 to 2. As soon as this regulation came out, the picture of three five-star red flags rising at the same time became the swan song at the table tennis men's and women's singles award ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
6. Wonderful rules are not wonderful. There are two wonderful rules for table tennis in this year's Tokyo Olympic Games. Blowing the ball and cleaning the table in the previous table tennis match are not allowed. However, this is not a new regulation of China table tennis team, but two very harsh terms added due to the epidemic.

China table tennis team is very strong, but it will also lose in mixed doubles this year. There is no natural champion, only higher, faster and stronger; There is no eternal victory, only persistent struggle!
