Guangdong also ranked first by taking up 18.19 percent of the overall sports output of China.
“Guangdong needs to play a more important role in economic and social development in the future to improve people’s sense of satisfaction and happiness. ” As Wang Yuping, director of Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau, said, “we should also make efforts to combine sports, technology, culture and education, creating a booming sports landscape for local residents.”
Su also pointed out that, over the next five years, Guangdong can take full use of the opportunities from major events, including the 2018 Asian Games, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and 2021 Shaanxi National Games, to make greater achievements in professional sports and mass-participation sports.
