“…We highlight the notion of an 'autonomous' and 'dependent' modern Chinese girl, the idea that a dual approach to femininity is a critical aspect of the education of the body, health and physical activity, and in understanding 'difference' (see Pang & Macdonald 2015b;Pang & Soong, 2016) and promoting HPEPA to Chinese young girls in Australia. This notion of autonomy and dependence provides an alternative lens that argues against the neoliberal discourses of aspirations, individualism and personal responsibility.…”

This paper aims to explore young Chinese girls' aspirations and ideal environments for engagement in Health and Physical Education (HPE) and physical activity (PA) in Greater Western Sydney (GWS). Interviews are used to elicit these girls' perceptions of their future and ideal environments in relation to HPEPA. Their data offers insights into key influences regarding what is thinkable, desirable and achievable in their HPEPA environments. Results showed dimensions of environments, such as social and pedagogical aspects, that are conducive to these girls' aspirations in HPEPA (e.g. social support from parents, and functional built environment for HPE). This paper aligns with a strengths-based approach to understanding and recognizing young Chinese girls' perceived aspirations within their socio-cultural environment. In doing so, we discuss how feminism and femininity are positioned from a Chinese perspective that may provide alternative views to a post-feminist panorama in promoting advancement of all young girls in HPEPA. Results invite us to take into account some of the girls' ambivalence towards being an 'autonomous' and 'dependent' modern Chinese young girl. This paper calls for a rethinking of how aspirations that shape young people's future in HPEPA in much of the contemporary Western world are conceptualised in academic research.
