one Chinese national player qualified to the olympic games before the proclamation of mainland china in 1949. Chairman Mao made a remark that all Chinese people can also be successful in top level sports event as the Olympics as with this player. from that moment, Table Tennis became a role model for the nation and it is still regarded as the national ball sport of the nation until now.
Actually table tennis did not become an olympic sport until 1988 so this answer is clearly incorrect.
The far more likely reason is because table tennis was a very practical sport in a country with such huge poplulation density.
Chairman Mao was a player and encouraged Chinese to play the sport.
When they first competed in the World Championships in the 1960s they dominated...defeating the reigning Japanese world champions.
With this success the popularity of the sport exploded and it soon became their national sport
The table tennis game is invented by people in Britain, they think to play that game with the book and played on the dinner table.
This game played after dinner as parlour game and known as wiff-waff among people.
The popularity of this game has been increased day by day and most of the people used to play this game after lunch and dinner to have the fun.
A good question......and if you asked it to ten people who like to play, they would probably give you ten plus different reasons. As for me, my reasons are as follows: fun, challangeing, good for you physically, mentally and arobically, you can play singles, doubles or on a team, can be played in doors or out, anytime of the year, and a great way to meet new friends, almost anywhere you go, as it's played all over the world. Besides, it can be very inexpensive to play. If you're good enough, you can make a living at it. The worlds best have become millionaries. In addition, a brain clinic in California did a study and concluded that it was the best sport for you brain.
