i think genetics come into play.
chinese people's height are around 165-175 on average.
unless you are ET, i dont think these people have that long hands.
thats why they use something between 56"-57''
i have never seen anyone using 55'

Yep and arm length seems to be shorter relative to height. It's hard to buy shirts for tall westerners in Japan! Fortunately I don't fit that category
