As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Indeed. Whatever happened to that bloke who faced down the tanks? We shall never know.
That said, Deng Xiaoping took China out of the dark days of Mao and set it on the road to what it is today; A single-party capitalist state and the sweatshop of the world
Never a truer word said, Communism is the dictators Capitalism, the rich/powerful always rise to the top no matter what system you're living under, it's those at the bottom who's lives are worse.
Oh and as for the thing about the fans not putting up with the overseas players getting paid more, exactly who are they going to complain to, this is China, open your mouth and you disappear

It is amusing how they still have to glorify Mao, as he was 'father of the revolution', even though he was a fucking disaster for China.
Still, who would have thought in the 70s that China's economy would have overtaken Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan? I suppose it solves any 'reunification issues'.
Anyway, back to football. It might be a bent league, but Guangzhou Evergrande won the Asian Champions League in 2013 and 2015. It's all carved up between the Far East and the Middle East nations. The ACL has strict foreigner limits (3/4 in the match squad) as well.
The Chinese economy may have created a few million middle class but for the peasants modernisation has been a disaster for China !
Instead of eeking a living off the land they can now go and work like a dog in a large factory thousands of miles away for little pay whilst the countryide is decimated !
They were better off under communism allbeit totalitarian communism !
let's all cash in....
