China's sports culture and mindset still lag behind: March 16, 2015, 18:10
At the recent sports team meeting on the 11th, Duan Shijie, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports, pointed out that although more people are engaging in fitness activities in parks and streets, many still wear inappropriate attire such as leather shoes, trousers, and jeans. This highlights a significant gap between China's sports concepts and those of developed countries.
Duan believes one key reason for this issue is the lack of effective channels for promoting scientific sports knowledge. While health promotion is widely covered in media—on TV, newspapers, and the internet—sports education and guidance remain insufficient. Additionally, he noted that coaches and professional clubs have not fully supported mass participation in sports, limiting the growth of grassroots fitness activities.
Cen Xieliang, another member of the National Committee and chairman of Taishan Sports Industry Group, shares similar concerns. He suggests that vocational education could play a crucial role in training a large number of community-based sports professionals who can provide guidance and education. This would not only promote fitness culture but also help standardize scientific exercise practices across society.
Yao Ming, a member of the National Committee and former NBA star, emphasized that sports should be seen as a form of fun and entertainment. He proposed setting up more accessible basketball courts in public areas to encourage children's participation and develop their interest in the sport. Instead of imposing professional standards and rules on all citizens, he argued that lowering the entry barrier would increase overall participation and make sports more inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.
By improving education, creating more opportunities, and fostering a more engaging environment, China can gradually bridge the gap in its sports culture and mindset.
