China, Football, Chinese dream, New Projectment Economy, Embedded Chinese GlobalizationResumo
After triumphing at the Olympic Games and fulfilling the objectives set out by the various sports policies to achieve Olympic glory, and now under the leadership of Xi Jinping, China has set itself the goal of deepening the strengthening of its sports industry with the aim of transforming this sector of the economy into an even more relevant source in the processes of capital accumulation and the advancement of its productive forces. Aiming for the sports industry to account for around 5% of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2035, several projects have been put forward since 2014. First, there was the “Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Sports Industry and Promoting Sports Consumption” (国务院关于加快发展体育产业促进体育消费的若干意见), followed in 2015 and 2016 respectively by the “The Overall Reform Plan to Boost the Development of Football in China” (中国足球改革发展总体方案) and the “China's medium and long-term football development plan (2016-2050)”- (中国足球中长期发展规划 2016—2050年). This paper aims to demonstrate how the “Chinese Football Dream” represents the Chinese Dream and, therefore, serves as an instrument for the realization of two fundamental objectives for the Centenary of the People's Republic of China, namely, Common Prosperity and the Community with a Shared Future for Mankind. To this end, this work proposes to interpret the Football Plan from a synthesis between Chinese political economy and geopolitics, bringing perspectives on two intersecting political processes: the New Projectment Economy and the embedded Chinese globalization.
