The Guangzhou Asian Games was a metaphor for the regional rise of China. It crushed the other nations beneath a mass of medals. China once again stood apart from the other Asian nations: the Games was a harbinger of future wider hegemonic dominance. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
