One would assume that the entire country of China is terrified of the prospect that Yao Ming might not make a full recovery in time for the Olympic games in Beijing. Fear not, sweet Chinese people! Yao is apparently doing just fine, and in a recently released interview, he talks all about his workout schedule (1:15) and the (13 million?) hit count that reebokyao.com has generated (2:32), and how much that means to him, knowing that he has a lot more than just Dikembe Mutumbo backing him up.
I'm not entirely sure how much this will subdue any conspiracy from Rocket fans that Yao is more concerned about the national team than his NBA team -- not a believer in that one personally, but it's worth noting -- but it should do a lot to let fans know that he will be healthy by the time China gears up for Olympic basketball.
