Yao Ming was also on the bid team as one of the six Beijing 2022 bid ambassadors, "Many Chinese people have adopted a sporting lifestyle since Beijing 2008," which not only helped transform the city into an international cosmopolitan destination, but also solidified a deep sporting culture, he said.
The basketball player now serves as the president of the Chinse Basketball Association since the year of 2017. A string of basketball institutional reforms has been implemented under his leadership.
Yao, alongside with other two sports icons Lang Ping and Xu Haifeng, were among the 100 people selected to be awarded for their contributions to the country's reform and opening-up in 2018.
In addition to Yao's basketball reform, Chinese government also published "the Overall Plan for China's Football Reform and Development" in 2017, planing to transform the country into a footballing powerhouse by 2050.
The in-depth reforms have been practiced in various aspects of the Chinese Sports.

In 2017, the added value of the sports industry exceeded 1 percent in the country's GDP for the first time to become a new kinetic energy for China's economic growth.
