Sport

The big sports story in China at the moment is of course the 2008 Olympics. The PRC (the People’s Republic of China = mainland China) has traditionally performed well in sports such as gymnastics, but nowadays Chinese sportsmen and women are making their mark in a wide range of sports, from basketball to football. You only need to look at Premier League Everton, where you’ll find Li Tie and along the road at Manchester City there is Sun Jihai.
