In the moment of attention, Chen Hua, a veteran sports journalist, threw out a heavy statement on social media platforms, urging the Chinese Football Association (CFA) to innovate the foreign aid admission mechanism of the Chinese Super League (CSL) in order to realize the synchronization with the AFC Champions League (AFC), the top tournament of the Asian soccer industry.
Chen Hua passionately called out on social media, "The upcoming AFC Champions League season will see the liberation of the restriction on foreign aid quotas, which is almost a loose policy tailor-made for the Saudi League. The Chinese Super League giants may wish to take advantage of this good opportunity to expand their foreign aid lineups if they have the intention to do so, while keeping a close eye on the FA's policy trends, such as adjusting the foreign aid policy, in an effort to synchronize their development with the AFC Champions League."
After taking office, Song Kai, the new president of the Football Association, vowed to create a professional league that would be exciting for all people, and actively benchmarked against the Asian Football Confederation and began to study the relaxation of the foreign aid policy. But then, the media's interpretation of this move was divided, with some arguing that although the relaxation of the foreign aid policy is a long-term goal, it will be difficult to implement in the short term.
