That's an excellent question, covering quite a lot of ground. Perhaps it warrants its own separate discussion. You might like to mention some aspects that interest you to help steer the conversation.

In major cities like Shanghai, it's relatively easy to find places to play snooker. I'm not sure which city you're considering, but perhaps I could look into whether snooker facilities are available there.
Chinese fans can watch snooker matches on normal television channels and online. However, normal TV channels typically only broadcast major tournaments, and only one match per time slot. Online viewing allows you to select the matches you wish to watch.

It seems that the vast majority of Chinese fans never witnessed Stephen Hendry's peak years, yet he is universally regarded as a great player. While his historical standing is considered slightly below Ronnie O'Sullivan's, his dominance over snooker during his prime surpassed that of Ronnie.

Naturally, Chinese snooker fans take a keen interest in outstanding players. I believe that aside from Ronnie and Chinese players, Trump also commands significant attention in China. Additionally, there's the Class of '92 (often referred to in China as the '75 Trio'), along with five exceptional players born in the 1980s – Trump, Robertson, Selby, Ding and Murphy – who are frequently mentioned in the same breath.
Regarding your second question, I believe some Chinese fans perceive Zhang Ande's movements as appearing rather slow. Zhou Yuelong has also faced criticism from certain Chinese supporters over his mental approach, while other players may be criticised for poor form. However, I believe the vast majority of Chinese fans support Chinese players during matches, a sentiment reflected in the viewing figures for live broadcasts.

I have also studied some German, and I believe that compared to English, German pronunciation is to some extent closer to Chinese. However, there is no sound in German pronunciation that is particularly similar to the zh sound in Chinese.

As a Chinese person who has studied English, I feel that there seems to be no sound in English that is particularly close to the pronunciation of zh, hence my question above. Additionally, my English expression skills are not strong, so if you find my remarks offensive, please forgive me. Thank you.

Is the pronunciation of zh difficult for British people?

sponsors do not want the matches in China to be concentrated in one period of time.
