Beijing Sports University president Yang Hua said China has to address "urgently the physical fitness of the nation's youth, or run the risk of raising a generation incapable of fighting the Japanese in a future war".
China's head of the top sport university said the government should be extremely concerned with the physical state of the young generations, and take measures in order to promote and stimulate fitness in children.
"It is time for the Chinese nation to improve the physical fitness of our next generation," said Yang. "If we miss the next three to five years a whole generation will be next to useless.
"If there was another war against Japan, would the younger Chinese be able to fight the Japanese one-on-one?
"The government has enough money for banquets and for luxurious office buildings, do they not have money for children's physical education?"
The former Olympic and world champion 110 meter hurdler said he hoped to be an "example to children", and make them work hard to be "stronger and stronger".
