> China's sports powerhouse blueprint for 2026–2030 sets goals for public fitness, sports consumption, youth development and elite competition. By 2030, it aims for about 4 square meters of sports venue space per person, regular exercise among roughly 40% of residents, more than 5,000 upgraded small facilities and a sports industry valued above 7 trillion yuan. Cities including Nanchang are converting unused spaces into neighborhood sports venues.
