Top-down pressure and bottom-up responses: a study on provincial Governments' adoption and textual reproduction of sports industry policies in China.

ABSTRACT: National policy documents, as the starting point of the "document transmission chain", are often directional and instructive in content. Provincial governments, as transmitters of these policies, possess more precise localized decentralized knowledge and are responsible for their specific implementation. During the downward transmission of policy documents, some provinces tend to directly replicate national policies, which results in provincial governments adopting certain policies, but with unsatisfactory outcomes. Accordingly, this study applies the Word Embedding-Word Mover's Distance method to calculate, for the first time, the variation coefficient of policy text reproduction for provincial governments' sports industry policies. This method is a semantic distance-based text similarity
