The key points of the meeting are as follows: 1. In the Chinese Super League, the rule is “4 on the field, 5 registered, 6 eligible for registration, 7 in total” – that is, each team can have a maximum of 7 foreign players registered across two transfer windows; 6 of them can be registered at any given time, and 5 of them can be listed for each match, with 4 of those foreign players actually playing in the match. 2. “2 in China League One, 3 registered, 4 total; i.e., each team in China League One may have a total of 4 foreign players registered for the whole season, with a maximum of 3 of them eligible to be listed, and at most 2 of them can play in each match.” 3. Maintain the validity of the players’ existing contracts; current contracts will not be invalidated. 4. The annual salary of newly signed foreign players shall not exceed 3 million euros; contracts for foreign players signed after January 1, 2020, are considered new contracts. 5. For domestic players, the maximum pre-tax salary without bonuses under new contracts is 10 million RMB; for players selected for the ** team, this amount increases by 20%. 6. The pre-tax annual salary for U21 players under professional contracts is no more than 300,000 RMB. (This rule does not apply if the player meets the playing criteria; the specific procedures will be determined and published by the working group of the Professional League Policies Federation.) Domestic players signed new contracts after November 20, 2019. 7. Relax the U21 policy. Previously, the limit on domestic players in the Chinese Super League was “5+3”: 5 players with no age restrictions and 3 players under 21 years old. With the start of the new season, there are no longer any restrictions on the transfer of U21 players. 8. All clubs must make their names gender-neutral by 2021; those that fail to do so will not be allowed to compete. 9. In the 2020 Chinese Super League, the spending limit for clubs was 1.1 billion RMB, with the salary budget accounting for 60% of the total investment. In 2021, the expenditure limit and salary limit will be reduced to 900 million RMB and 55% respectively. 10. The U23 policy remains unchanged. Chinese Super League and China League One clubs must have at least one U23 player on the field in each match, while Chinese League Two clubs must have at least one U21 player on the field. When first-team players are selected for the **team** or the U23 team’s training sessions, the club can benefit from the U23 discount policy. 11. The quota system for players who are not of Chinese descent or who have not been naturalized through blood relations was not discussed at this meeting.
Many times, Chinese young players who go to Europe don’t earn enough to support themselves. If the football association wants to force them to leave, then shouldn’t a portion of subsidies be provided to all those who go, after all it’s half a world away from home. Japanese players dare to go abroad because the Japanese Football Association has spent 20 years nurturing many talented players, allowing them to succeed overseas. What has the Chinese Football Association been doing over these 20 years? It has wasted countless talented players, and now it’s pushing them abroad without caring about their well-being!
What a freak! A stupid decision! Annual salary is determined by ability; so what if one has the skills to earn a high salary? Looking at world football, there are too many players who became famous at the age of 21. Even in their home country, players like Du Wei, Qu Bo, and Zhou Haibin had already become well-known national team members by the age of 21; so what’s wrong with them earning high salaries?
I’ve thought for a long time: in which areas is China still relatively backward? Science and technology? We have caught up in most areas of technology, and we are also world leaders in many key technologies. Education? Chinese education has many problems, but it has at least produced a large number of modern talents, and the overall quality of education is steadily improving. Film and entertainment? Affected by this particular trend, the lack of a proper grading system is not even particularly concerning; it hasn’t prevented domestic movies from achieving high box office revenues and maintaining their presence in the local market. There are also many high-quality works available. While most TV dramas are of poor quality, they are still being exported abroad. Domestic animation is also making progress and gaining increasing popularity. By the way, our online novels are unique on a global scale and have even become popular overseas. Tourism? There is still much room for improvement in terms of competitiveness, but the core advantages are quite evident, offering promising prospects for the future. . 2020 is coming up soon, and **almost every field is seeing rapid development and significant progress. Yet Chinese football remains unchanged from year to year, stuck in a state of decline with no sign of improvement
In the whole world, only the Chinese Football Association holds back the development of its own football league. Looking around the world, which football association bothers its own league? There are many claims online that Evergrande hoards national team players and relies on naturalization; these are all market-driven actions – wealthy clubs can do such things, and that’s the case with clubs in Europe’s various leagues as well: those with enough money buy top-tier stars, while those without as much money purchase players with lower values. I haven’t seen any football associations intervene either; it’s UEFA that imposes penalties regarding financial fairness. Football is inherently a market activity, and there should not be excessive administrative intervention
In my opinion, we need to start with youth training and have a long-term plan. Short-term policies alone cannot solve problems systematically. Many people have been following football for years and have their own insights. But looking at China at present, those who take practical actions and focus on real results – like the young Chinese football players coached by Teacher Dong Lu – seem to have a significant influence; their presence can be found around the world, and they represent a source of vitality in China’s football scene during this difficult time
Approach it with a calm mind and a sense of responsibility!
