Today in China, there are Acrobatic Troupes associated with each province and at times associated with a particular city. Each of those Chinese Acrobat Troupes forms associations that are also a part of the National Acrobatic Association. These troupes are sanctioned by the Chinese Government. This means that the Acrobats that are a part of these troupes are the Best of the Best Acrobats. Their professionalism sets worldwide standards and creates cutting-edge acts that compete for the highest level of recognition. In addition, the government of China protects the Acrobats that are a part of the sanctioned association with certain workers’ rights. Amateur troops are often not familiar with those rights and work under dissatisfactory conditions.
