Study on Synergistic Effects of Large-scale Sports Events and Cultivation of Chinese National Community Consciousness
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: As a vital platform for national strategy, major sporting events demonstrate unique value in strengthening the sense of community among the Chinese nation through multidimensional synergistic effects. This study examines the 15th National Games of China (National Games) and the 12th National Paralympic Games with Special Olympics (NPG-SPO) to be held in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area by 2025. Through three dimensions—regional coordination, socio-cultural synergy, and economic collaboration—it analyzes how these events foster a shared national identity via symbolic system sharing, group interaction enhancement, and strengthened national identity. The research reveals that the innovative "three-region co-hosting and integration of disabled and able-bodied athletes" model not only deepens regional integration but also reinforces the concept of "shared destiny, shared honor, shared survival, and shared future" through sports practices. This provides a sports-based paradigm for ethnic work in the new era.
