Why is China not in Commonwealth Games?

Why China is not part of the Commonwealth Games? As China was never a part of the British Colonization thus it is not a Commonwealth of Nations.

How much did the Birmingham Commonwealth Games cost?

A report has been published detailing how some of the money pumped into the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham was spent. The Games – staged last July and August – were backed by £778 million ($962 million/€842 million) of public funding, providing the West Midlands region with a refurbished athletics stadium in Perry Barr as well as a new Aquatics Centre in Smethwick.

• The new document includes financial statements for the Birmingham 2022 Organising Committee covering the 18-month period to end-September 2022, just over seven weeks after the Closing Ceremony.

More than £420 million ($520 million/€455 million) of this was received from central Government, with the remainder derived from other sources, including sponsorship and ticketing. Just under £353 million ($437 million/€382 million) of central Government grant-in-aid was included in the financial statements of the Organising Committee itself.

Why Commonwealth Games are played?

Commonwealth Games, quadrennial international multisport event contested by athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations, The Commonwealth Games are managed by the Commonwealth Games Federation, based in London, England, Australian-born Astley Cooper first broached the idea of such games in 1891, calling for sports competitions to be held so as to demonstrate the unity of the British Empire,

• In 1911 a “Festival of the Empire” was organized, celebrating the coronation of King George V,
• Teams from the United Kingdom, Australasia (Australia and New Zealand), Canada, and South Africa participated in a series of events that included athletics, boxing, wrestling, and swimming.
• The inaugural British Empire Games were held at Hamilton, Canada, in 1930.

Eleven countries sent 400 athletes for a program of athletics, lawn bowls, boxing, rowing, swimming, and wrestling, and the English team emerged with the largest share of medals. Women competed in only the swimming events. It was agreed that the Games would be held in varying Commonwealth cities at four-year intervals, preferably midway between the Olympic Games,

The second British Empire Games, in 1934, were originally scheduled for Johannesburg, South Africa. However, due to concerns over South Africa’s apartheid policy and related concerns about prejudice against athletes of colour, the Games were moved to London. Sixteen countries participated, with women making their Games debut in athletics.

Following the third Games, held in Sydney in 1938, there was a 12-year hiatus on account of World War II, The Games resumed in 1950 in Auckland, New Zealand, Britannica Quiz American Sports Nicknames The 1954 event, in Vancouver, marked the first time the Games were contested by countries that were no longer part of the British Empire. The new name “British Empire and Commonwealth Games” reflects this legacy,

Twenty-four countries participated, with live telecasts for the first time in Games history. The one-mile-run event was called the “Miracle Mile,” as the gold medalist Roger Bannister of England and the silver medalist John Landy of Australia each ran a sub-four-minute mile, the first time two runners did so in the same race.

The 1958 event in Cardiff, Wales, marked the debut of the Queen’s Baton Relay, wherein the Queen’s Baton is handed over in a relay starting from Buckingham Palace in London and ending at the Games venue, In 1966 the Games were held in Kingston, Jamaica, with badminton and shooting introduced as events for the first time.

Forty-two countries competed in the 1970 Games in Edinburgh, Scotland, The event name was changed to the “British Commonwealth Games,” and metric units were used instead of imperial units for events for the first time. This was also the first Games attended by Queen Elizabeth II in her capacity as head of the Commonwealth.

The 1978 Games, the first to be called the “Commonwealth Games,” were held in Edmonton, Canada, and were boycotted by Nigeria to protest New Zealand’s sporting relations with apartheid-era South Africa. The Games continued to be beset by political boycotts,

The 1986 Games, in Edinburgh, were boycotted by 32 African, Asian, and Caribbean countries in response to the U.K. government’s refusal to impose sanctions on apartheid South Africa, and consequently only 26 countries competed. The 1990 Auckland Games, however, saw a resurgence, with 55 countries participating.

The 1994 Games in Victoria, Canada, saw South Africa return to the Commonwealth Games after the end of apartheid, and Hong Kong participated for the last time before its transfer of sovereignty from Britain to China in 1997. The 1998 Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia—the first Games to be hosted in Asia—saw further milestones, with the introduction of team sports; 70 countries competed for a share of the medals.

Even though cricket is strongly associated with the British Commonwealth, the sport was included in the Games for the first time only in 1998. (It was, however, not included in 2002 and subsequent Games, though the 2022 Games are set to feature women’s T20 cricket.) India—the biggest TV market for cricket—and Pakistan sent weakened squads to the 1998 Games in order to focus on the Sahara Cup, a bilateral series played between the two countries.

South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, all of whom sported strong teams, took home the cricket medals. The 2010 Games were held in Delhi, India, the first time the Games were held in a Commonwealth republic. The 2018 Games in Gold Coast, Australia, showed how far the event had come in terms of gender inclusivity, with an equal number of events (and medals) for men and women for the first time.

Birmingham, England, was chosen as the site of the 2022 Games. Akin to the Olympic Games, the Commonwealth Games also begin with an opening ceremony. It typically starts with hoisting the host country’s flag and a performance of its national anthem, After an artistic performance, athletes parade into the stadium, starting with those from the country that hosted the previous Games and then the other countries, grouped first by region and then in alphabetical order.

The Queen’s Baton is brought into the stadium and handed over to the representative of the head of the Commonwealth. Likewise, the closing ceremony, as in the Olympics, has all athletes enter the stadium together irrespective of nationality. The Commonwealth Games flag is then handed over to the mayor of the next host city before the Games are declared closed. Get a Britannica Premium subscription and gain access to exclusive content.

They were discontinued after 1974, but in 1994 they were included in the main Games as demonstration sports.

Since 2002 the para events have been fully included in the main Commonwealth Games, allowing para athletes to participate as part of the main national teams. Australia leads the medals tally across all editions of the Games through 2018, with a total of 2,416 medals including 932 golds, followed by England, Canada, and India.

Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, Scotland, and Wales remain the only countries to have attended every edition of the Games. The identity of the Games has evolved over time, from an event for colonies of the British Empire to a venue in which an increasing number of independent countries could compete and express their own identities outside of the empire.

Does the US participate in the Commonwealth Games?

Given the lack of international meets this summer, SwimSwam took a dive to see if the U.S. could join the Commonwealth Games. Stock photo via Anne Lepesant Currently, the United States has no senior international swim meets scheduled in 2022. No FINA World Championships, no Olympics, no Pan Pacs, all postponed or canceled.

• Nothing. However, there are still a few regional international meets happening in other parts of the world this year, including the Commonwealth Games.
• And that’s all fun and games, except the U.S.
• Can’t compete.
• The Commonwealth is a group of 54 “independent and equal countries,” according to the Commonwealth’s website.

Notably, these countries include swimming powerhouses like Australia, South Africa, Canada, and, of course, the United Kingdom. Could the U.S. participate, if it wanted to? At first glance, this question is, well, questionable. After all, the U.S. conducted a whole war just to get away from the British.

But pressure for the U.S. to join the Commonwealth–which would allow the country to compete in the Commonwealth Games–has increased in recent years. During President Trump’s term, the American and British governments were reportedly in touch about the U.S. potentially joining the Commonwealth. Let’s break down what it would take for the U.S.

to join the Commonwealth, and thus become eligible to participate in the Commonwealth Games. These requirements have changed over time, with 7 meetings from 1931 until 2007 altering and refining membership criteria. These requirements take into account the items discussed at the 2007 Commonwealth Head of Governments Meeting, held in Kampala, Uganda, as well as the 2012 Charter of the Commonwealth, and the requirements can be found on the Commonwealth’s website.

An applicant country should have a “constitutional association” with an existing Commonwealth member.

First and foremost, this one requirement is strongly suggested, but doesn’t use mandatory language like “must” or “shall.” Like many member countries, the U.S. is a former British colony (which the U.S. might not want to emphasize, but more on that later).

Applicants should be considered on a case-by-case basis.

No problem here, at least not on the United States’ end.

An applicant country should accept and comply with the values set forth in the 1971 Declaration of Commonwealth Principles.

The requirements contained in the Declaration of Commonwealth Principles are: international peace and order (manifested through support of the United Nations); individual liberty and equal participation in democratic processes; the eradication of racial discrimination; opposition of all forms of colonial domination and racial oppression (through commitment to the ideals of human dignity and equality); the eradication of poverty, ignorance, and disease; raising the standard of living and achieving a more equitable international society; encouraging the flow of resources–private and public– to developing countries; and international cooperation (to end war, promote tolerance and development, and fight injustice).

On their faces, the United States should easily be able to agree to these requirements, as many of them are ideals and values the U.S. promotes on its own. The U.S. is also an active and powerful member of the United Nations, and regularly participates in international efforts. The cynic might say the U.S.

doesn’t comply with all of these values, and one could make a list of what the U.S. does or doesn’t do in the name of each ideal, but these general values seem to coincide with U.S. representations of its own goals and ideals.

“An applicant country must demonstrate commitment to: democracy and democratic processes, including free and fair elections and representative legislatures; the rule of law and indep endence of the judiciary; good governance, including a well-trained public service and transparent public accounts; and protection of human rights, freedom of expression, and equality of opportunity.”

Similarly to the statement above, these values are consistent with U.S. documents like the Constitution, which support general democratic processes such as freedom of expression and equality of opportunity. According to the 2020 Democracy Index, run by the Economist, the United States has what is termed a “flawed democracy,” in line with countries like France, India, and South Africa, who all have scores that fall under what the index terms a flawed democracy.

An applicant country should accept the norms and conventions of the Commonwealth, which include the use of English for inter-Commonwealth relations, and an acknowledgement of Queen Elizabeth II as head of the Commonwealth.

Though the U.S. has no official language (it’s not English, look it up!), it is a member of the United Nations, which uses English as one of its working languages. If the U.S. were to join the Commonwealth, its administrative team would have to use English, which might be prohibitive to some people living in the country, but isn’t out of line with many other de facto requirements for working in international relations.

But the acknowledgement of Queen Elizabeth II is another story. From a practical standpoint, acknowledging the queen as head of the Commonwealth doesn’t change the status of our country at all, and it should be noted that 34 of the Commonwealth nations are classified as republics; only 15 nations have the Queen as their head of state.

However, given the recent falling out culminating with Meghan Markle’s departure from the royal family, as well as the 1776 general fallout with the royal family, the U.S. might be hesitant to make this formal acknowledgement. Though, if the U.S. were intent on joining the Commonwealth, it might make this exception.

New members are encouraged to join the Commonwealth Foundation and to “promote vigorous civil society and business organizations within their countries, and to foster participatory democracy through regular civil society consultations.”

Similarly to the third and fourth requirements, this requirement seems like something the U.S. might agree to–though the U.S. has gone back and forth on its willingness to participate and fund international programs over the past few decades. However, this participation is certainly feasible for the U.S., and the requirement for eligibility is just an encouragement to join, nothing mandatory.

Rights and Obligations of the Commonwealth Nations Membership with the Commonwealth is not guaranteed–in fact, if member states, which have already been accepted into the group, do not follow certain rules and commit to certain obligations, their membership could get suspended. To date, Fiji, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe have all been suspended for various infractions, though only Zimbabwe actually left the Commonwealth (in 2003).

The Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) is in charge of enforcing the requirements of Commonwealth membership. The CMAG has enforced suspensions relating to breaches of democracy, such as when Fiji refused to call credible elections by a certain date in 2009, or when Pakistan passed the set deadline to end the state of emergency in the country, a state that prevented elections from being held.

1. Notably, no country has ever been expelled from the Commonwealth.
2. Becoming a Member If the U.S.
3. Were to submit a formal interest in the Commonwealth, it would go through a number of assessments before being asked to submit a formal application evidencing its commitment to the values and requirements listed above.

The application will then have to be accepted on a consensus by the Commonwealth heads of government. A U.S. addition to the Commonwealth would provide a large boost of resources to the organization, and clearly the U.S. would likely need more of an incentive to join the group than the potential to compete in another round of international competitions and really solve a one year problem.
