why

>>83794175
China history records are really inaccurate, borderline mythical.

>>83794175
they are too busy masturbating with cartoon girls doing nothing

>>83794175
Because karate here, karate here - karate never here.

they have ninjas and samurai

>>83794175
hong kong =/= china

>>83794223
Chinese need 'mystical shaolin monk can punch through steel' bullshit to compensate for the humiliation they suffered at the hands of the rest of the planet. Japan does the same thing but they've always been more proud of their goofy swords than their ability to do slightly more strenuous yoga.

Karate fucking suck to be honest.

>he hasn't seen Karate Kid

Karate isn't as fun to watch as kung fu. It's very slow and deliberate, and fairly anchored to the ground.

>>83794175
Karate isn't very flashy. And Ninjas are more interesting.

Plus China had a bunch of schools that basically thought people how to preform theatrical Kung Fu.

Japanese were taught to hate their culture by an occupying force.

>>83794175
They have Kaiju movies

>>83794175
kung fu is fake, karate is boring and slow

>>83794175
I thought Karate was korean

>>83794175
serious answer: China has a long history of wuxia media, so there's a mythical quality to Chinese martial arts and kung fu in particular that doesn't have an equivalent in Japanese martial arts

>>83795771
It developed from chinese boxing

>>83794223

Japans cultural identity got nuked to oblivion.
China on the other hand has had quite a strong one, + when they found the terracotta soldiers, that bolstered their culture.
