When it comes to money, then they are very capitalist. When it comes to stopping the local populace from knowing what is happening in the outside world, then they're still communist. Try using Facebook, YouTube , blogging sites etc in China without a proxy server. Very difficult to do.

You don't really define communism by how badly a government treats its citizens though. If Donald Trump became very tyrannical, censoring citizens and attempting to stop the local populace from knowledge of world affairs and using social media, it would still be a capitalist country, just one run by a tyrannical cunt. Likewise with China, it might be run by pieces of shit who don't really have respect for their citizens but it's still not a communist country, it's a very capitalist country run by complete cunts that call themselves communists.

I've not managed any of the games because of work, although I've heard from pals that the games are poorly attended and the quality isn't great. The tickets are quite cheap though, I've had them offered to me for less than ten quid. I had a Chinese mate from work who supported Shanghai Shenhua, but even though he was Chinese and they were his local team they were his second team because he was a Man United 'fan.' Stayed up in the middle of the night to watch their games and everything - he wasn't unique in being like that either. The CSL will always suffer because the Chinese naturally think some foreign things are inherently better (which is why Shanghai is fantastic for single western guys :craphead:) and in this case it's probably always going to be true that foreign football is one of those things.

Cheers for that mate. Quite favourably priced tickets there. I'll look out for any games on Sky, because they're trying to get the best players in the world into the league.?

FIFA and UEFA need to be gutted from top to bottom for letting these sorts of situations arise.  Football has become the antithesis of what it's supposed to be- Sport.

This isn't any different to what Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Bayern etc etc etc have been doing for years. People just don't like it because it's Chinese teams doing it.

They'll get bored eventually, remember when Anzhi were going to be the best team in the world?

This. Quite funny seeing the Utd/City/Chelsea fans getting their knickers in a twist over this.

China's chief sports governing body has announced plans to cap the big spending of Chinese Super League clubs.

The league's current pre-season transfer window is set to break records in the wake of Oscar's £60m move to Shanghai SIPG from Chelsea and Shanghai Shenhua's £40m capture of Carlos Tevez.

The Argentina striker has reportedly signed a deal worth £310,000 a week.

A spokesperson for China's General Administration of Sport said clubs in the country were "burning money".

The spending was also described as "a grave phenomenon" in a question and answer session on the organisation's official website on Thursday.

The spokesperson added that the government body would "strengthen examination and supervision of clubs' financial affairs, progressively control clubs' expenditures on first-team players and ensure favourable financial conditions".

In December, Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes claimed the player was offered an £85m annual salary after an unnamed Chinese club approached Real Madrid with a £250m bid.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte are among the leading figures to have expressed concern about players being lured to China because of the financial benefits.

The 2017 Chinese Super League campaign begins in March and finishes in November.
