Chinese athletes must "improve their political awareness" and "be good hosts" when the Asian Games start next week in Hangzhou, the country's top sports official has said.
For China's ruling Communist Party it is an opportunity to showcase the country's sporting, organizational and technological prowess, having been largely closed off during the pandemic."All delegation members must improve their political awareness and firmly remember the great causes of the nation," General Administration of Sport director Gao Zhidan told athletes in Beijing on Tuesday.
"Be good hosts, conduct extensive friendly exchanges and demonstrate our country's good image of reform and opening up, economic development, and social progress to Asian and international communities," Gao said.
