Hi George,
It was invented in England... the Chinese have just made it their own now.
There is a History of Table Tennis timeline on the ITTF website. http://www.ittf.com/media/History/Timeline_History.pdf

Hey umm i have gone to RIU Guanacaste a few months ago in Costa Rica, an all inclusive hotel. I have played table tennis but i wasn't watching you guys videos yet so i was just playing as a normal ping pong player and after im not sure but i played with an australian guy i think and he was making topspins and i've seen an australian player called Trent Carter, and he looks almost the same. So i wanted to know if Trent visited Costa Rica or it probably else somebody else?
Thanks for reading!
He hasn't been there for a few years.
