Continued Suppression of Underground Catholic Church Despite an agreement between the Vatican and Beijing, Chinese authorities continue to squelch churches. For centuries the people of Liaoning have been known as warriors, hunters and athletes.
One day during practice Junzu Qi soared for the ball, collected it in midair, only to collide with another player. There was a click, followed by a snap in his ankle. He knew immediately — his time at the sports school was over. Registering its players with the provincial sports bureau has allowed Liaoning to maintain basketball dominance. Before breaking his ankle, Junzu Qi was buried in this system.
Upon admittance, he and his peers were registered with the Liaoning sports bureau. After being checked in, he was escorted to his room and met his three roommates. Teams from rival provinces will offer anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan for elite talent. The better the player, the less likely the government is to allow them out of its grasp.

Junzu Qi transferred to Benxi City High School two months after breaking his ankle, where he learned that even in the public school system, mastery of basketball was a matter of school pride.
Junzu Qi pushed the lead above 15 points. His coach told him to stop. Junzu Qi found himself at the free throw line on the next possession. His coach ordered him to the sideline in between his two shots.
She noticed his struggle to catch up academically while balancing basketball. Practice in the evenings would end around 10 p. After practice, Junzu Qi and his peers would go to a study centre to review class notes before returning home at midnight. Science had said that Junzu Qi would be too short to play. Now, his studies had fallen behind. If he wanted to leave Benxi, it would have to be through school, Gong Li warned. That message resonated with Junzu Qi. He shifted his focus towards the gaokao and earned a spot at Shenzhen University.
There he met Joel Haines, an English tutor from St. Haines hired Junzu Qi as an assistant basketball coach at Five-Star Sports when he was an undergraduate student. The program has branches in Guangzhou, Chengdu and Shenzhen and has trained more than 3, kids. Such offers often come with a price tag. The avenue offered by Five-Star only exists for select families.
On a nightly basis parents gather to watch their kids receive English instruction from a foreign coach and a Chinese assistant coach. The system prioritizes academics and most schools lack anything more than a recreational team, leaving private schools and programs like Five-Star as some of the few outlets for organized competition. A foreign Five-Star coach provides English instruction to young Chinese basketball players attending an evening basketball class. What Five-Star offers is an alternative to the pitfalls of a development system that fails to entertain the notion of a student-athlete.
The earlier they get there, the more chances they have.
If you get there from elementary school, their whole story changes. Young gymnasts practice at the Shanghai Sports Institute in early August Six toes point towards the ceiling. Heels arch. Three sets of ankles press tightly against one another. Two ponytails slink to the floor. Slight wrinkles in the mat begin to form under the pressure of bodies in perfect formation. Three girls, no older than six or seven, hold their stance upside down.
Their handstands are unwavering.
Five minutes pass before they level on their feet. Their back muscles have already begun to show. Behind them, a shirtless boy admires their poise while others await their turn at the Shanghai Sports Institute.
He told me that the girls there can go for a half-hour. Dance routines are practiced in the center of the room by some of the young gymnasts. A girl on the left side of the room paces on a treadmill in front of a horizontal mirror. Her reflection casts the image of a child walking steadily, wires dangling near her wrists, transmitting her heart rate. Both are caused by overexertion. Gymnastics, trampoline and hand ball are its specialties. Approximately full-time students live in the dormitories. Some are Olympic hopefuls, some have already been crowned world champions, others have been dropped off and forgotten by their parents, Pratt said.
The Soviet inherited system has had fantastic results in terms of assuring an impressive medal count. After sitting out the Olympics, China saw its medal count slowly rise at the Summer Games throughout the s and 90s, culminating with the most gold medals of any country at the Games in Beijing. But that number has started to drop. China recorded 91 medals in London in , and 70 in Rio de Janeiro in The playing environment in these sports never changes, whether it be the height of a bar, the length of a table, the weight lifted, or the same opponent for the duration of a match.
Anders Ericsson once theorized that it took 10, hours of practice to become an expert at a chosen discipline. These sports—big ball sports—require split-second decision making and teamwork to adapt to the up-tempo nature of the game. Players never face the same situation twice, whether it be in the form of a defender or teammate. Intuition is required to adapt to constant play calling. The regimen of fierce drilling has left Chinese basketball players lacking the intuition necessary to succeed at the game and susceptible to wear. Five years earlier he was playing for the junior national team.
A group of American coaches had been invited by the CBA in to host a clinic for Chinese coaches. Ma Jian had worked towards this moment. The energetic play, the emotiveness of the players — the freedom one could have while on court. He wanted to leave for America.

The team had been instructed to run drills at 80 per cent, but Ma Jian saw the exercise differently. I knew that it was an opportunity. If I got recruited, you never know. He wrote letters to government officials for three years, pleading his case. The response was always the same. He tried to argue that he should be allowed to leave on the merits of North America having the best quality of basketball in the world. If he wanted to improve, he had to go. For doing so, they punished him.
The national team travelled to the Philippines in for a series of exhibition games. But his English had hardly improved since he met Harrick. He took the test and failed. It took four years for his request to go to America to be approved. By then it was and the Barcelona Summer Olympics were about to begin. By then, he was viewed as a defector. The Chinese lost all seven of their games and Ma Jian, the only player to receive formal consideration from American coaches, was largely confined to the bench for political reasons by Jiang Xingquan, a former player and coach for Liaoning.
