Chinese Football and the State


Recommended Posts

Guardian Article

the media are given more freedom to cover football - the country's most popular spectator sport - than almost any other subject

This "revolution" - as the Chinese media have dubbed it - brought a furious retort from the CFA. "Chinese football must stay under the leadership of the CFA and the national sports administration," said the CFA vice-president, Yan Shiduo. "We can let go of the economics but never the politics."

I might have to start watching football - never realised it was so interesting.

I wonder how many Miami Heat games will be televised in China now that they have both Shaquille O'Neal and Wang Zhi Zhi.

(Wang Zhi Zhi is a hot political topic in China with regard to his banishment from the China national team.)
