Have 17% of the world's population.
Have a talent-seeking system that looks for talented individuals through the entire population, not just amongst the ones that opt-in to the school tryouts.
Make sure that those talented individuals are able to access and afford training, regardless of their family income or background.

Note that when it comes to sports that China is poor at (like football) they're mid because they don't do step 2 for that sport, rather than "they skip step 2 because they're bad at it". That's true of all countries.
