Basketball was introduced to China in 1895 by American missionary and educator James Naismith, who created the game. However, it was the efforts of other missionaries, such as Luther H. Gulick and the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association), that helped popularize the sport throughout China. Their initiatives included organizing basketball camps and competitions, which contributed to the establishment of the game's popularity in the country.
