Olympic Medals and China's Centralised Sports System
The pursuit of Olympic medals has long been a focal point for China, with the Summer Games acting as a litmus test for its sports policies. The recent performance of tennis star Zheng Qinwen in the Beijing Olympics highlights the ongoing debate over the Chinese centralised sports system, particularly its market-oriented reform.
Corruption Issues in Chinese Sports
- Corruption within the Chinese Football Association has raised vital questions about ethical governance in sports.
- The performances of athletes like Li Na and diving phenom Quan Hongchan show the potential of a reformed system.
