BEIJING nike presto se woven schweiz , Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- China's sports industry is expected to account for 0.7 percent of the GDP with an added value of 400 billion yuan (about 62 billion U.S. dollars) in 2015, which are the highest figures so far in its development and basically meet the goal set by the 12th "Five-Year Plan".


This was disclosed earlier this month by Feng Jianzhong, deputy director of the State General Administration of Sport of China.


Feng attributed the achievement to government support, huge capital input from all sectors, and enthusiasm among the public to participate in sports.


COMPARISON AND CONTRAST


Although China's sports industry has grown by leaps and bounds nike presto ultra flyknit schweiz , it is, compared with those of the developed countries, still in its infancy and requires nutrients.


Up to 2014, the total value of China's sports industry was 320 billion yuan (about 50 billion dollars), accounting for 0.6 percent of the GDP nike presto qs schweiz , while in the United States, the ratio was around 3 percent. And some other developed countries had also surpassed 1 percent years ago.


The shinning point is that China has become the world's largest sports goods manufacturer, and some products are named after world champions, for example the "gymnastic prince" Li Ning. But the brand value is still not as competitive as Nike or Adidas. And manufacturing is not the most profitable sector in the sport industry.


The sports entertainment business plays a leading role in the sports industry, stimulating the development of related sectors nike presto essential schweiz , such as sports sponsorship, TV relay, sports media, sports advertising, sports lottery and etc.. In these areas nike presto herren schweiz , China is still lagging far behind.


In other words, falling behind could mean great potential. The Chinese economy has been growing fast for the past three decades and has become the largest in the world by some measures. There is no concrete excuse for the sports industry to make such a little contribution. In a sense, China's sports industry is a "gold mine" which has not been fully tapped.


RETROSPECTION


In retrospect, sports were run by the government in the era of planned economy. The strengths of such a system are evident in yielding gold medals, which reached the peak in 2008 when host China topped the tally with 51 gold medals at the Beijing Summer Olympics. But the system makes it harder for the market to grow.


In the past three decades nike presto damen schweiz , many Chinese industries have embraced marketization and globalization. But the sports industry did not catch up with the trend. Although in 1994, China brought in the professional league system for its football as a test for sports reform, few Chinese people regards the test as a successful one.


Chinese people often ask why a global economic and sports powerhouse has singularly failed at playing the global game. One poor FIFA World Cup appearance in 2002 aside, China has made no perceptible impact on the world's most favorite sport. Beset by corruption and poor management, Chinese football has continuously provided laughing stock.


Things must be changed and have started to change nike presto schwarz schweiz , indeed.


The turning point came in 2010 when China's State Council, for the first time, issued a Guiding Opinion designed to boost the development of the sports industry and to elevate it to an unprecedented strategic position.


The Guiding Opinion pointed out that private investment in China's sports industry is actively encouraged, and market exploration of sports performance and recreational sports should be put into action to a greater extent.


However, the timely rain was just a guide without specific and practical details.


The breakthrough point came in 2014.


AMBITIOUS PLAN


China mapped out the plan of speeding up its sports industry on Oct. 20 nike presto weiß schweiz , 2014 when the State Council announced a guideline, named Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Sports Industry and Promoting Sports Consumption.


According to the guideline which set the year 2025 as the deadline, the value of the overall scale of the sports industry is expected to reach 5 trillion yuan (about 800 billion dollars), the average sports venue area per person will reach 2 square meters, the number of people who regularly participate in sports activities will reach 500 million www.nikeprestoschweiz.com , and the coverage of new neighborhoods with sports facilities will reach 100 percent.


In a bid to encourage social investment, the guideline said that the government-identified high-tech sp.
