Silenced, condemned, and redirected
Drawing on Critical Race Theory and critical discourse analysis, this study examines how racism in Chinese football is silenced, condemned, and rearticulated on Chinese social media. The analysis identifies three nodal points that structure the online negotiation of racism. First, racist incidents are frequently downplayed by clubs, players, and supporters by reframing them as miscommunication or routine sporting conflict, normalizing racialized …
In the Name of National Glory
The 1986 Yangtze River and 1987 Yellow River rafting expeditions demonstrate how a Western-origin sport was appropriated and transformed into a vehicle for sports nationalism during China’s reform and opening-up era. While whitewater rafting developed in the United States as a commercial rafting industry, its introduction to China by American adventurer Ken Warren was widely perceived as a symbolic foreign challenge to the nation’s ‘mother rivers…
Riding the Olympic wave
Yang Siqi’s ninth-place finish in women’s surfing at the Paris 2024 Olympics represents a compressed development trajectory: China progressed from virtually no competitive surfing infrastructure to Olympic representation within 7 years of its Olympic inclusion in 2016. This article examines how this rapid sportisation was institutionally achieved in China and how it reshaped authenticity politics in an emerging Olympic action sport: surfing. Thro…
Centralisation, Professionalisation, and Globalisation
The Olympic Games are widely recognised as one of the most significant global media events. Olympic broadcasting goes far beyond the mere transmission of sporting competitions—it plays a crucial role in audience expansion, technological innovation, and multi-platform dissemination. This article adopts a qualitative archival approach to examine the evolution of Olympic coverage and broadcasting in China, from China’s initial engagement with the 19…
Exploring Multi-Screen and Second-Screen Viewing During Sports Mega Events
Although regarded as less influential than the Olympic Summer Games, the Olympic Winter Games remain a globally anticipated and widely viewed event. This study employs semi-structured interviews to examine multi-screen and second-screen viewing behaviours among Chinese viewers during the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games in the context of media convergence. Grounded in channel complementarity theory, our findings reveal that television remains th…

Athletic Success, Authenticity, and National Identity in Singapore
Sport has been integral to Singapore’s national development, serving as a platform for fostering national identity and elevating its global stature. Since the 1990s, the Foreign Sports Talent scheme has played a crucial role in Singapore’s achievements on the international stage. However, it has also fueled debates about authenticity and representation, particularly regarding Chinese-born table tennis players who have brought Olympic success to t…
Glocalization, Cultural Adaptation and Organizational Dynamics
Ultras fan culture in China has evolved through four stages: from early grassroots fandom to the consolidation of an ultras identity, the rise of organized supporter groups, and, most recently, a phase shaped by digital platforms and commercial rebranding. Blending global aesthetics with local cultural particularities, Chinese ultras have adapted to shifting societal expectations, enduring traditions, and the negotiation between local adaptation …

Wu Lei, who played for Reial Club Deportiu Espanyol, was the only Chinese footballer in the top five European football leagues from 2019 to 2022. Applying critical discourse analysis, this study examines how Chinese and Spanish news reports have constructed Wu Lei’s identity and represented the political and economic forces that supported Wu Lei in becoming the only Chinese player in…
