英语文摘:Xinhua think tank sports report released

BEIJING, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- A think tank report titled "The Road to Becoming a Sports Powerhouse -- The Value and Inspiration of Xi Jinping's Important Discourses on Sports" was released here on Tuesday.

Authored by Xinhua Institute, a high-end think tank of Xinhua News Agency, the report is divided into four sections. It comprehensively explains the core concepts of Xi's important discourses on sports, reviews the achievements of Chinese sports under this guidance, and clarifies its contemporary significance and global influence.

Addressing the report launch ceremony, Fu Hua, president of Xinhua News Agency and chairman of the academic committee of Xinhua Institute, said that Chinese President Xi Jinping, from the strategic perspective of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, has made a series of important expositions on sports, providing fundamental guidelines for advancing the high-quality development of China's sports cause.

This think tank report "provides an innovative interpretation of the scientific theoretical framework that supports the development of China as a strong sporting nation," said Fu.

The core essence of Xi's important discourses on sports involves building a sports powerhouse to shape "complete personality" at the individual level, develop a 'creative society' at the social level, cultivate a 'confident nation' at the national level, promote 'Chinese wisdom' at the civilizational level, and construct a 'colorful world' at the international level, according to the report.

The report highlights the global impact of Xi's ideas on sports, suggesting that China's modernization and sports development model provides a reference for other countries and regions.

"While absorbing advanced global experiences, Chinese sports have combined local culture to form a development path with Chinese characteristics. The cross-cultural appeal of sports has brought hope to the world, and through sports, China promotes peace, development, and unity, actively contributing to the creation of a better world," reads the report.

Speakers who shared their insights at the launch event included Gao Zhidan, director of China's General Administration of Sport, and Yang Yang, China's first Winter Olympic gold medalist.

Gao noted that under President Xi's guidance, sports have become an important symbol and component of national prosperity, national rejuvenation, and people's well-being.

This report systematically reviews President Xi's important discourses on sports and deeply explores the strategies and pathways for transforming China into a global sports powerhouse in the new era, he said.

Xinhua Institute is the only media-based think tank among China's national high-end think tanks, focusing primarily on public policy and international policy research.

Hosted by Xinhua News Agency, the launch event was attended by around 100 representatives from the General Administration of Sport, Olympic champions, the sports community, experts, scholars, media, and think tank project team members.
