Claremont McKenna College Tapping the Potential of Sports: Incentives in China’s Reformation of the Sports Industry Submitted to Professor Minxin Pei by Yu Fu for Senior Thesis Spring 2017 April 24, 2017 2 Abstract Since the 2010s, China’s sports industry has undergone comprehensive reforms. This paper attempts to understand this change of direction from the central state’s perspective. By examining the dynamics of the basketball and soccer markets, it discovers that while the deregulation of basketball is a result of persistent bottom-up effort from the private sector, the recentralization of soccer is a state-led policy change. Notwithstanding the different nature and routes between these reforms, in both sectors, the state’s aim is to restore and strengthen its legitimacy within the society. Amidst China’s economic stagnation, the regime hopes to identify sectors that can drive sustainable growth, and to make adjustments to its bureaucracy as a way to respond to the society’s mounting demand for political modernization.

  • Sport Industry in Rural China
    2018 4th International Conference on Social Science and Management (ICSSM 2018) ISBN: 978-1-60595-190-4 Sport Industry in Rural China: Development Momentum, Characteristics, and Strategy: A Field Study of the City of Jinhua, Zhejiang Province Yun-Xia DING Physical Department, Zhejiang College of Sports, Hangzhou, 311231, Zhejiang Province, China [email protected] Keywords: Sports; Revitalize rural areas; China. Abstract. This paper takes ten sports characteristic villages in Jinhua of Zhejiang province as the research object, uses the scientific research methods such as literature and field follow-up investigation, analyzes the present situation of the sports development of these villages, and then puts forward the concept of the sports village. The paper holds that the sports characteristic village has distinct features such as cultural inheritance, resource dependence, content difference and fusion innovation. The inherent development needs, the natural and cultural environment, the dynamic choice of urban tourists and the government's support policies are the formation and development forces of sports characteristics villages. There remains dilemmas in the case such as the top design is not enough, the theoretical system is not existing, industrial structure is convergent, characteristics advantages are not obvious. We suggest the government to strengthen the scientific and standardized layout, to seek accurate development orientation, to emphasize the center of sports services as well as to explore special lines of sports characteristic villages on space diffusion patterns and laws. Introduction The function of sports in China has witnessed multiple shifts in different historical contexts. Over the past decades, it has been utilized to elevate China's international standing, improve the national physical fitness, and rejuvenate Chinese ethos.
