>How did China do in world champion sprinting, chess and basketball?>

Why pick these 3 as yardsticks for the performance of a nation? Having world champion chess players did not stop the collapse of USSR. Jamaica is not a world class economy because Usain Bolt is from there. And lets forget about basketball - it should be considered a real sport only if the basket is raised by another 15 feet to negate the height differences among players.
