The 1995 Law established the foundational principles for the development of physical culture and sport, recognising the state&rsquo;s responsibility to promote public health, to develop competitive sport, and to regulate the organisation of sporting activities. The 2022 revision, which took effect on 1 January 2023, modernised the legal framework in response to China&rsquo;s changing sports landscape and its increased engagement with international sporting competition.</p>
