Description

Explore the deep connection between politics and sport in China with this insightful volume from the Routledge Contemporary China Series. This book examines how Chinese authorities use major sporting events to drive the Reform and Opening up process, build public patriotism, and signal national resurgence on the global stage. Since the 1980s, Chinese cities have actively pursued bids for prestigious competitions, including the Olympics, the Asian Games, and the World University Games. The text looks at how these urban centers seek success through the support of the central government, including the President and the Premier. This work provides a clear look at how international sports bids function as a tool for national policy and domestic growth in a rapidly changing landscape.
