I was at the Taipei airport about 28 years ago when I saw what I believed to be a Chinese basketball team arriving. All evenly over 7’ and eerily similar looking. My first impression was clones. I spent a fair amount of time in Asia and can readily tell the difference in individuals.
They may have been mostly from Northern China.

How come we never see these 7 footers play in any international tournament? The only tall player from China that I can remember is the 7’6” Yao Ming who played in the NBA for the Houston Rockets.
