**Yes, the "China Model" has shown initial success.** Following the Hangzhou Asian Games, competition venues have been kept open to the public for over 330 days per year with low fees or free admission, promoting national fitness and hosting various events. This model achieves a sustainable balance between public welfare and a market-oriented "using events to sustain venues" approach. Similarly, venues for the Harbin Asian Winter Games were renovated from existing facilities and now operate with low public fees post-event, boosting the winter sports economy. Government investment ensures the public welfare nature of these facilities, while social operation injects vitality and revenue, creating an effective equilibrium between the two.
