Under the plan drafted by the National Development and Reform Commission, or the country's top economic planner, and the General Administration of Sport, China will construct more public sports facilities in the next three years to guarantee people's rights to take exercises and encourage them to lead a healthy lifestyle.

The central government will earmark funds each year to ensure each county with suitable conditions builds a stadium, and half of all cities or regions of the same administrative² level have indoor sports centers designed for residents of all ages, according to the plan.

China will also continue to provide sports facilities for residents in its central and western regions, and support villages in those areas to build a hard court for basketball and two outdoor ping pong tables, it added.

China now owns more than a million sports venues³ of all kinds, official data has showed.
