The purpose of this study is to explore and to compare sport policy factors leading to international sporting success in Western society with China's "Juguo Tizhi" (whole country support elite sport system). This study uses documentary analysis in qualitative research as its primary method. The major research papers addressing sport policy factors leading to international sporting success in Western society, including Oakley and Green (2001), Digel (2002), Green and Houlihan (2005), and UK Sport (2006), were analyzed and compared with that addressing "Juguo Tizhi" in China, such as Liang, Bao, and Zhang (2005, 2006). We found that UK Sport has the most developed results among the four Western research papers addressed above; however, the results of Liang et al. not only include the nine sport policy factors mentioned in UK Sport, but also demonstrate external contact system, anti-stimulant system, and encouragement system. After thorough analysis, it is concluded that though different usages of terminology were found between the twelve contents of whole country support elite sport system addressed in Liang et al. and the nine sport policy factors mentioned in UK Sport, the contents of sporting success in these research papers are similar and overlapped in some degree.
