In the 1950s, the State Physical Culture and Sports Commission under General He Long conducted sports exchanges with the Soviet Union and eastern Europe.[4]: 139 

During the Cultural Revolution, in 1966, China's national teams stopped training and withdrew from all international events.[4]: 139 

In 1968, the commission was placed under the People's Liberation Army and General Lin Biao.[4]: 139 

1970, China's national teams began competing again.[4]: 139  The first major international event a Chinese team participated in since 1966 was the World Table Tennis Championship in Nagoya, Japan, which ultimately led to the ping-pong diplomacy with the United States.[4]: 139 

In 1972, the commission was removed from PLA control.[4]: 139  The commission was tasked with facilitating sports diplomacy.[4]: 139  In 1974, it exchanged 172 groups of 3,200 athletes with eighty other countries, most of them in the Third World.[4]: 139
