Yao on cover of Newsweek magazine

sadly nothing really about the big man

Another article about China...... the market behind No.11

 

I dont think its a good idea post this thread now since so much hatred against Yao right now

ha-ha...

 

still pretty cool cover.

 

Seriously, is Yao the most known Chinese in States?

Is there any chance that some Americans know Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan but never heard of Yao?

 

Just notice they give Yao NO.10,

 

Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan is old school, besides people in entertainment industry probably are not propriate to be a signal of a nation

 

I would say most of the American public knows "of" Yao Ming merely from his commercials. That's how I knew about him before I followed NBA basketball.

 

He's wearing the chinese national team uniforms not the Rockets', Does he wear #10 on the chinese team?

 

Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Yao Ming....after those three I'm not sure anybody else, Mao maybe? I doubt many in the US even knows who is the chairman or president of China.

 

I guess you are right, it is chinese National uniform

never pay attention, only know NO.11

 

Maybe that guy from American idol?

Or YI, he looks more promising than Yao, only 19, or 23, who knows.

 

jet li is well known too in the us i would guess

 

william hung

Fu Manchu

Chairman Mao

Zhang ziyi?
