This ideology(意识形态), they think, creates a space 37 women who are loyal, filial(孝顺) or who give service to the nation 38 .
“Besides China, no other nation gives equal financial support and media attention to 39 sports. That’s why China 40 challenge the US in medals---it treats men and women 41 ,” Susan Brownell, a professor at 42 University of Missouri in St. Louis who 43 Chinese sports, told the Wall Street Journal.
Now, however, more money is being 44 on men’s professional sports, which usually attract more views. This could change the gender gap as sports grow 45 commercialized (商业化的) in China, according to the Wall Street Journal.
