This is a surprise. Japan were favoured. I think the white player scored the winning penalty
As much as I love to see China win, anyone know the rationale behind Hannah Miller's choice to play for China? She has zero Chinese blood and was on the Canada youth U-18 teams that won 2 world championships in 2013/14, and if you look at her stats in the youth tournament (6 points in 10 games), they were on par with current Canadian women's team stars like Emily Clark and Sarah Nurse. Chris Chelios' son playing for China's men's hockey team I can even understand since Chelios doesn't look to be a Hall of Famer like his dad, but Miller could've played for Team Canada, period.
Look man it's good for China because it helps to slowly build up their team. The foreigners can guide and mentor the locals.
And good for the foreigners because it develops their career. They are not good enough to make it to the first division national team in their countries.
If you have a few foreigners around as mentors, it's win win for everyone.
Also being the star player helps to pad and inflate your goals and assists. Surrounded by equally strong players you tend to have fewer goals and assists. It's like how when LeBron is the only superstar on his team his numbers surge because he's the only focal point of offense.
@Crang bro China had to import something from Canada to balance out its trade deficit...lol
