Yao for eventual President of China?! That would be cool.

When high-profile Chinese athletes retire, they often are drawn into the political sphere. In 2011, shortly after retiring and becoming the owner of the struggling Shanghai Sharks, the team where he got his professional start, Mr. Yao was elected to be one of seven new members on the Shanghai Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, an advisory body to the local government.

In 2013, he was promoted to the National Committee of the C.P.P.C.C. alongside military officers, government officials, state-recognized religious leaders and other prominent figures.
