Basketball star Kobe Bryant toured Asia, and was in China to launch a new charity initiative

One of the great curiosities in modern sports is the Chinese people's lavish affection for Kobe Bryant. During last year's Beijing Olympics, he was greeted with a rapturous reception and mobbed everywhere he went. He appears in commercials and on billboards, has a popular Web site and had a reality show on Chinese television. He sells more NBA jerseys there than Yao Ming.

In Los Angeles, the love affair will reach a new level. Not only is Mr. Bryant accepting an award from the Asia Society for his work as a "cultural ambassador," the ceremony will be attended by Liu Peng, China's "Minister of Sport" and a member of China's Communist Party Central Committee.

In an attempt to tap into the Chinese government's growing interest in promoting charity, Mr. Bryant is establishing the Kobe Bryant China Fund. The organization will partner with the Soong Ching Ling Foundation, a charity backed by the Chinese government, to raise money within China earmarked for education and health programs. Mr. Bryant's existing fund, the Kobe Bryant Family Foundation, will also work to strengthen ties between the two countries by teaching middle-school students in the U.S. about Chinese language and culture.
