China has entered into the new period in which it is striving to achieve the four modernizations. This has set a new goal for physical culture workers, that is, to make sports popular both in the cities and the countryside so as to build up a contingent of sportsmen and physical culture workers who are vocationally proficient, to bring technical performance up to the world’s top level, and to provide modem sports facilities, thus enabling the country to become a major sports power in the world.
China will strengthen ties with sports circles of other countries in the world and take an active part in various activities sponsored by international sports organizations. It will also undertake such obligations as acting as the host country not only for more Asian Games but also for the Olympic Games.
