Chinese athletes are preparing for upcoming competitions, including the AFC U-20 Asian Cup in Shenzhen. The General Administration of Sport (GAS) is focused on curbing extreme fan behavior and promoting sportsmanship.
The GAS is implementing plans to strengthen athletics and major ball games, addressing online harassment and disputes. The Chinese Table Tennis Association issued guidelines to address fan behavior. Sports commentator Wang Dazhao encouraged rational support for all athletes.
Social media platforms are shutting down controversial fan groups. The GAS celebrated athletes' success at the 2024 Olympics. A comprehensive plan is being drafted to reform sports, focusing on public services, competitive sports, and technological innovation.
Preparations are underway for future Olympic Games. The GAS is also focused on youth games and hosting international events. Sports are seen as a driver for urban development and economic growth. The goal is to promote China's athletic spirit and national pride.

This feels like a top-down control of the narrative. Very concerning.

Focusing on 'online harassment' seems convenient. What about genuine criticism of performance?
