The Chinese government made national fitness a key national strategy in 2017 with plans to develop the country's sports industry and raising the annual output of the sector to five trillion yuan (some 743 billion U.S. dollars) by 2025. The strategy also laid out goals of per capita area of sport grounds reaching two square meters and people that exercise regularly reaching 500 million by 2025.

Located in the south of Chongqing in the southwest of China, the Wansheng District is one of the most successful model to implement the national fitness strategy as nearly 60 percent of the population engage in various of sports exercises in daily life.

The local government has built more than 600 badminton courts and nearly 800 kilometers of hiking routes alongside dozens of fitness parks and sports complexes scattered across the whole area.

"Everyone has the right to be healthy. Everyone therefore has the right to participate in sports and physical activity in order to promote health. As the leading international Sport for All organization, TAFISA encourages active participation in sports to exercise such rights," Chang said.

"Europe used to be the center of global Sport for All movement. Now I hope this center can be transferred to China," he said. "TAFISA supports the role of China in contributing more to the global social welfare."
