Question:
Obviously china has more people, so we are looking for more of a relative statistic. Thanks.
Answer:
Japan has a professional baseball league that is very similar to the United States. There is huge fan support for baseball in Japan from the High School Championships (nationally televised) all the way up to the Major Leagues.
Taiwan has a very good baseball program and a very good friend of mine is actually a scout for the Seattle Mariners based in Taipei. Baseball exists in China but is much more popular at the little league level than for adults. Much like soccer still is here in the USA.
South Korea also has a major league type professional baseball program and although, very popular, can not even compare to Japan.
