This book analyzes the motivations of the Chinese authorities to
pursue the international sporting events. It investigates the 21
oft-underappreciated sporting events governed by FIFA, FINA, FIBA,
IAAF, and other international organizations, and linking them with
the calculus of the Chinese authorities to push forwards economic
development, polish national image, and realize the supreme
leaders' political ambitions. The author therefore sheds important
light on the intertwined nature of sport and politics in the
Chinese state and reveals how pervasive the sporting events' roles
have been in China's domestic politics and international relations.
This book's broad scope is expected to attract the subscriptions of
the academics, think tanks, diplomats, government officials, and
international sporting organizations.
