How much does China need to do to gain your respect and have you consider them close to equal to the other regions? Not get fully grouped? Not have 3 teams go winless? Make a semifinals? Make a finals? Win?
Genuine serious question
Having every region consistently send a top 4/top 4 calibre team every event would be sick. A fanatic vs GenG and G2 vs Fpx semifinals would feed families
i don't think a whole lotta ppl sincerely have a lack of respect for China--it's mostly ragebaiters that are saying "tier 2 region" and other insults. also i don't really think it matters considering most of the international competition by now have learned not to underestimate their abilities
