-
In this article, the author investigates the role of sport as a marker of political and social power in China. The author also examines the tension between power and anxiety, and strength and fear, that has characterized so many of China's political movements over its many governmental transitions since the fall of the Qing Dynasty. He explores the many swings between the energy and popularity of the revolutionary regime and the degradation and violence in the country. He also notes the creation of a discourse built on the tensions between the universal ideals promoted by powerful nations and the degree to which China can and should match these ideals.
