China is set to host a series of flagship multi-sport events next year at a time when it is facing increasing international pressure over its persecution of Uyghur Muslims - something human rights groups say amounts to a genocide, but Beijing claims sending thousands to "re-education camps" is necessary for internal security.

Chengdu is due to host the Summer World University Games in 2022, following postponement, and Beijing is scheduled to host the Winter Olympics in February 2022.

The next Asian Beach Games are scheduled for the Chinese island city of Sanya as well, but a date has not yet been announced following coronavirus-related postponements.
