If sports are strong, China will be strong, and if national sports are prosperous, sports will be prosperous.Data shows that the number of people in China who regularly participate in physical exercise has exceeded 400 million. Behind this is that China has achieved new historic achievements in economic and social development, achieved a new historic leap, comprehensively elevated its status as a world economic power, achieved a new leap in per capita gross national income, elevated people's living standards to a new level, ranked among the world's top in comprehensive national strength, and significantly enhanced its international influence.
Strengthen sports exchanges and promote mutual learning among civilizations. Sports play a special role and also play a unique role on the stage of national diplomacy.China actively participates in international sports competitions and events, and has successfully hosted over a thousand international sports events. Boutique events such as the BRICS Games, the SCO Marathon, and the ASEAN Auto Rally have effectively promoted people to people communication. Continuously close sports exchanges and extensive participation in high-level cultural exchange mechanisms and multilateral international cooperation mechanisms between China and foreign countries have fully demonstrated the comprehensive value of sports and greatly enhanced China's national influence.
Sports carry the dream of national strength and national rejuvenation. The development of sports is not only an important part of realizing the Chinese Dream, but also provides a powerful spiritual force for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Based on the new stage of development, implementing the new development concept, constructing a new development pattern, we should also form a new situation of all-round, multi-level, and three-dimensional sports foreign exchanges. The Chengdu Universiade will help stimulate the enthusiasm of the general public, especially young people, to participate in sports, and promote the coordinated development of mass sports, competitive sports, and the sports industry. This not only contributes more to the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the Chinese Dream, but also helps Chinese culture and world culture complement each other, promoting the continuous progress of human civilization through mutual learning.
