Chinese male soccer team is an absolute disaster. Got beaten by Vietnam few days ago. The entire administrative hierarchy of Chinese soccer team should be sacked. Billions of investment and thats what they come up with.

Thanks. That's a very informative article. I didn't realize even the women's team have this many naturalised players. I watched a brief CCTV video on Chinese ice hockey recently. One interesting info they mentioned is like 80percent of the players in Chinese women team are from shenzhen.
I thought thats abit strange since shenzhen is warm place. Not the first city I think of winter sports. Usually Chinese ice skaters are from dong bei area. Provinces in North East.
After reading that, seems like cuz they are players in team based in shenzhen. I dun know much about the ice hockey situation in China or well anywhere else actually. But seem like shenzhen benefit from being a fairly rich new city so they attract players and teams?
The naturalised strategy is fairly recent. We need to give it time. Before the soccer federation were pretty strict due to country no dual citizenship policy and other reasons, they didn't go down this route but the men's soccer team still failed badly.
Of course china should not rely on it wholly, I think no country should even Qatar probably don't and they have alot of naturalised players.
I think china can benefit from it like how Japan did with their Brazilian players. It helps to improve the overall quality and play. Just don't overdo it is the key. I actually thought there was good progress since the policy was enacted. A few bad results are expected. Plus li tie is a rookie manager, there was too much expectations.
My bad. There were some spectators. Last night the camera shots made it like they weren't any.
The guy works out. He is quite buff for a ice curler

Not always. chinese men gymnastics team historically perform better than female counterparts. Weightlifting men team too unless manqiang corrects me. Diving is pretty even.
the examples you named are more extreme ones, so no argument. But not sure why you mentioned the men bball team, at least they reigned in Asia region during Yao, wang and yi era, something the mens footbal team can’t even achieve .
Considering how bad Asia is at ice hockey, I propose that Japan Korea and China form an ice hockey pro league. China has an ice hockey pro league but it's anaemic.
Good for sports, good for diplomacy, good for business.
Why not?
There can be like 3 or 4 teams from Japan, 1 or 2 from Korea, and 12 from China. The revenues should more than cover the air travel expenses.
Maybe have 1 team from Hokkaido and 1 from Tokyo. Sounds fun.

Listen up... write Chinese characters, be happy about it, or it's off to the concentration camps!
