Sports as a Bridge: Analyzing the Role of Athletic Exchange in Sino-Russian Relations on Hainan Island
Abstrct
The role of sports in international diplomacy has been increasingly recognized as a soft power tool for fostering mutual understanding and cooperation between nations. This analysis explores the role of athletic exchanges in strengthening Sino-Russian relations, with a specific focus on activities on Hainan Island. It examines the historical context of sports diplomacy between China and Russia, current initiatives such as bilateral competitions, sports tourism, and training camps, and the broader impact on diplomatic ties, economic benefits, and cultural exchange. The paper also discusses future prospects, including the expansion of exchange programs, infrastructure development, digital engagement, and joint research initiatives. Through this lens, the study highlights how sports serve as an effective bridge for enhancing mutual understanding and cooperation between the two nations.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
