Following a discussion of the priority given to national elite team sport success in contemporary China, the article explores the range of mechanisms that facilitate sport globalization and focuses particularly on evaluating the utility of the concepts of policy transfer and lesson drawing. The examination of the concepts is achieved through the exploration of a series of questions relating to recent developments in basketball in China, including how the need for reform of the domestic system was recognized and articulated, who was instrumental in transferring policy, which countries were identified as suitable exemplars, and which policies were transferred. The article draws on data collected from a number of sources, including official government documents, news media, and a series of interviews with Chinese officials from key governmental organizations. The article concludes that the concepts of policy transfer and lesson drawing provide significant insight into the process of China’s engagement in basketball, and identifies a series of tensions arising from the process that affect contemporary sport policy.

  • Yao Ming Biography from Current Biography International Yearbook
    Yao Ming Biography from Current Biography International Yearbook (2002) Copyright (c) by The H. W. Wilson Company. All rights reserved. In his youth, the Chinese basketball player Yao Ming was once described as a "crane towering among a flock of chickens," Lee Chyen Yee wrote for Reuters (September 7, 2000). The only child of two retired professional basketball stars who played in the 1970s, Yao has towered over most of the adults in his life since elementary school. His adult height of seven feet five inches, coupled with his natural athleticism, has made him the best basketball player in his native China. Li Yaomin, the manager of Yao's Chinese team, the Shanghai Sharks, compared him to America's basketball icon: "America has Michael Jordan," he told Ching-Ching Ni for the Los Angeles Times (June 13, 2002), "and China has Yao Ming." In Yao's case, extraordinary height is matched with the grace and agility of a much smaller man. An Associated Press article, posted on ESPN.com (May 1, 2002), called Yao a "giant with an air of mystery to him, a player who's been raved about since the 2000 Olympics." Yao, who was eager to play in the United States, was the number-one pick in the 2002 National Basketball Association (NBA) draft; after complex negotiations with the Chinese government and the China Basketball Association (CBA), Yao was signed to the Houston Rockets in October 2002. Yao Ming was born on September 12, 1980 in Shanghai, China. His father, Zhiyuan, is six feet 10 inches and played center for a team in Shanghai, while his mother, Fang Fengdi, was the captain of the Chinese national women's basketball team and was considered by many to have been one of the greatest women's centers of all time.

  • NBA Returns for a Break-Neck Finish to Regular Season
    Sports42 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2017 NBA legend Yao Ming named Chinese basketball chief BEIJING: NBA Hall of Famer Yao Ming called for “urgent” reform and said he was facing a multitude of problems as he was elected president of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) yesterday. The giant former Houston Rockets centre, 36, arrives at the post as China searches for new superstars and more glory days for its national team, which has largely stalled since his retirement in 2011. Yao, the first league head not drawn from government ranks, has long advocated reform of how basket- ball is run in his country, which has failed to produce anyone close to his calibre. “At the moment, the most urgent matter is the reform of the CBA, which we must set on a virtuous cycle that will increase our influence and vitality, and bring new ideas to the fore,” he told a news conference in Beijing. “The biggest problem is that there is no ‘biggest problem’. The problems are everywhere. I believe this is a common thing to encounter in the process of reform.” He did not give specifics. DENVER: In this Nov 10, 2016, file photo, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, center, jokes with teammates Yao was quoted by Chinese media as earlier telling the CBA Kevin Durant, left, and Klay Thompson during the Warriors’ NBA basketball game against the Nuggets in Denver.

ABSTRACT Major League Baseball (MLB) has taken a series of actions over the past five years to penetrate the Chinese market. Watching the success of the National Basketball Association (NBA), MLB can easily identify opportunities in the Chinese market of 1.3 billion people. However, in comparison with an established American market, the Chinese market presents its own challenges and unknown factors, which are challenging the success of MLB’s marketing strategies. With over 20 years’ development in China, the NBA has become a model for the MLB. The focus of this paper is to explore the mimetic and coercive mechanisms of the Isomorphic process being used on the MLB.

  • •Š a Century of Olympic Consciousness and National Anxiety in China
    “How Could Anyone Respect Us?” A Century of Olympic Consciousness and National Anxiety in China Andrew Morris Associate Professor of History California Polytechnic State University, San Louis Obispo “China has never produced an earthshaking scientist or author or explorer ... not even a talentedathletefortheOlympics! Whenyouthinkaboutit,howcouldanyonerespectus?” – Novelist Lao She, Ma and Son (1935)1 Much of the history of China’s modern sports and physical culture program (tiyu) has been phrased, experienced, understood, and remembered as a gesture of national defense. Enemies have come, gone, and come again—the Western and Japanese im­ perialists, the Communists, the Nationalists, the footbound and weak, the ignorant and unhygienic, the decadent and materialistic, Taiwan, Falun Gong, and (again) U.S. and Japanese imperialists. All have served as forces that threatened China’s national body and had to be defeated with the rhythms, motions, disciplines, and ideologies of modern sport. Thus, over the last century, sport in China has served as a marker of political and social power, but it has also represented a profound national anxiety. This article investigates this realm and the tension between power and anxiety, and strength and fear, that has characterized so many of China’s political movements over its many governmental transitions since the fall of the Qing Dynasty. SPORT AND NATIONAL HUMILIATION From the earliest moments of the Republic of China period (1912–1949), all types of physical culture exhibited an affinity with a defensive nationalism. The first high-profile example of anti-imperialism and nationalism through Chinese sport came in the 1915 Andrew Morris is an associate professor of history at California Polytechnic State University, San Louis Obispo.

  • The 2 Annual North-East Chinese Basketball ... -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws
    Welcome to the 2nd Annual North-East Chinese Basketball League Tournament “In Remembrance of 5.12 Sichuan Earthquake” NECBL Background At about the same time Chinese students were immigrating in large numbers to the United States during the late 1980s, basketball was becoming an international sporting attraction. Icons like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone were not only the basketball idols of Americans, but also basketball fans in China. Starting in 1999, Chinese stars like Wang ZhiZhi and Mengke Bateer entered the scenes of the National Basketball Association and immediately caused a surge of interest among Chinese fans. 2002 was an unforgettable year as Yao Ming became the #1 Draft and successfully competed in the challenging NBA. Since then, he has continued to inspire Chinese in China, Chinese in the US, Americans and fans across the world. In 2007, another phenom Yi Jian Lian entered the scene and had an outstanding season. And so, on the special August 8, 2008, as China and global citizens are participating the start of the Beijing XXIX Olympic Games, we too celebrate in the United States by publicly announcing 8/8/08 as "Official North-East Chinese Basketball League Formation Date." About China Club of Delaware "The China Club of Delaware serves as a vital bridge between China and the U.S. and the state of Delaware. There is no question that we need to understand more fully and deeply the history and culture of China, and the Club provides this linkage plus a wide range of services to the community." — Patrick Harker, University of Delaware President ( www.udel.edu ) China Club of Delaware, at the University of Delaware, was started in 2008 - an unforgettable year for China.
