Its core is “independent innovation”. The author applied the “independent innovation” theory to study the macro theory of developing the sports industry in China at the present time, and re-vealed that there are 11 new ideas for developing the sports industry in China, namely, to handle two rela-tions–governmental management relation and social management relation, to highlight two functions–educational function and entertaining function, to distinguish two forms–commonweal type sport and business type sport, to in-tensify two supports–ideological support and policy support, to establish two systems–modern property system and modern enterprise system, to control two key points–management system innovation and sports art innovation, to occupy two markets–domestic market and international market, to stick to two services–serving the mass and serv-ing economic and social development, to develop in two aspects–for the mass and for the markets, to arouse two ini-tiatives–leader initiative and mass initiative, and to realize two benefits–social benefit and economic benefit.
