Infographic: Hightlights of white paper on parasports ahead of Winter Paralympics

By Zhang Zhou

China issued a white paper titled "China's Parasports: Progress and the Protection of Rights"on the country's progress in developing sports for persons with disabilities on Mar. 3, 2022.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, along with making progress in the cause of the disabled, the country has steadily developed parasports, blazing a path that carries distinct Chinese features and respects the trends of the times.

With the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games just around the corner, athletes with disabilities are once again drawing global attention. The Games will certainly provide an opportunity for the development of parasports in China; they will enable the international parasports movement to advance "together for a shared future".
