Yao Ming has stepped down as president of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), and Vice President Guo Zhenming was appointed the new chief, it was announced on Thursday.

周四宣布，姚明已卸任中国篮球协会（CBA）主席一职， 副主席郭振明被任命为新任主席。



The former Houston Rockets All-Star center was first elected as CBA president in February 2017 and later became chairman of the board of CBA Company. Yao was re-elected as CBA chief in December 2022, marking a tenure of over seven years with both achievements and setbacks for Chinese basketball.

这位前休斯顿火箭队全明星中锋于2017年2月首次当选CBA主席，后来又成为CBA公司董事会董事长。2022年12月，姚明再次当选CBA主席，标志着他在中国篮球领域任职超过七年，期间既有成就也有挫折。

Under his leadership, the women's national team achieved remarkable success, winning gold medals at two consecutive Asian Games in Jakarta and Hangzhou, and matching its best result at the FIBA Women's World Cup with a runner-up finish in 2022. However, the men's national team faced challenges, failing to qualify for both the Tokyo and Paris Olympics and falling short of the top 16 at the FIBA World Cup in 2019 and 2023.

在他的领导下，中国女篮取得了显著成就， 连续两届在雅加达和杭州举办的亚运会上夺得金牌， 并在2022年国际篮联（FIBA）女篮世界杯上获得亚军，追平了历史最佳成绩。然而，中国男篮则面临挑战， 未能晋级东京奥运会和巴黎奥运会，且在2019年和2023年的国际篮联世界杯上均未进入前16强。
