Implementing the Law of the People's Republic of China on Sports and Enhancing the Government Governance Efficiency: A Study on Regulatory Strategies for High-Risk Sports Events

Effectively regulating high-risk sports events is a specific manifestation of implementing the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Sports（the Sports Law）. The study indicates that sports administrative authorities face challenges in regulating high-isk sports events, including conceptual confusion, inadequate regulatory capacity, unclear standards, inefficient processes, and weak supervision. In the context of the “streamlining administration, delegating powers, improving regulation, and upgrading services”,sports administrative authorities need to refine a “specialized” regulatory operation mechanism and a “list-based” delineation of rights and responsibilities to enhance regulatory capacity. This involves formulating a “multi-threaded” personnel training and certification system, a “multi-entity” mechanism for jointly creating venue standards, and a “multi-tiered” sports event grading system to improve regulatory standards and strengthen end-to-end regulation. Moreover, it involves establishing a “one-stop” digital service portal,introducing a “contractual” notification and commitment system to optimize regulatory processes. Additionally, it involves nurturing an “integrated” collaborative law enforcement supervision mechanism and a “systematic” sports social supervision mechanism to strengthen law enforcement supervision. These efforts aim to achieve the goal of implementing the regulatory requirements of the Sports Law.
