Not surprisingly, the basketball crazy nation of China has all but ignored Lin. Since he is from Taiwanese stock, this worldwide phenomenon is a non person in a country that would be embracing him if he weren’t the type of iindividual the state media dislikes. But hopefully the newest “Linsation” in sports will keep his run going.
