Introduction

Wu Yize won the World Snooker Championship. He beat Shaun Murphy 18-17. Now, two Chinese players won the trophy in two years.

Main Body

China has many snooker clubs and schools. The government spends a lot of money on the sport. Because of this, many Chinese players are now the best in the world. In the UK, fewer people play snooker now. Many clubs closed. Shaun Murphy says Chinese players work harder. Wu Yize lived in a cheap house and worked very hard to win. Chinese players play the game in a new way. They take more risks and attack more. Famous players like Ronnie O'Sullivan helped Wu Yize learn how to win.

Conclusion

Wu Yize is the champion. China is now the strongest country in snooker.
