Chinese Olympic Committee
In 2007, a member of the CPPCC, Ye Hongming, proposed to define Hanfu as the national uniform. In the same year, a proposal to change the current western style academic dress to Hanfu style was also made by Liu Minghua, a deputy of the National People's congress. In February 2007, advocates of hanfu submitted a proposal to the Chinese Olympic Committee to have it be the official clothing of the Chinese team in the 2008 Summer Olympics. The Chinese Olympic Committee rejected the proposal in April 2007.
