I was just thinking the same thing. Personally I don't think it's to be admired. There is nothing wrong with cracking a f*ing smile.

Because their lives SUCK.
They live in a communist dictatorship where fun does not happen.
They are not even allowed to leave the country except for VERY good reason * like the olympics.
They have little to no freedom. Highly censored internet.
People try and pretend China is the up and coming country but it is really a hell hole in disguise and most of us know this.
All they do is train train train. That is their life. It's a primitive world China.. they have a long way to go.

They're just very focused.
The Chinese DO show emotions though. Did you see the gymnastics finals? The men were smiling and celebrating after their victory (but were very focused during the competition), while the women were crying after they were shut out of the podium.
They show emotions.

This ain't playing football or MMA fighting, a cool head is probably beneficial under these circumstances. As an American I'm ashamed to see you hating this way, half our country is obese, sad.

they are trained to win for their country, which is communist. so everything they do is for the gov, thats why u dont see them smiling and having a good time

It's because they are not programmed for public emotional displays.

Not every culture flaunts their emotions about. I admire them.
