It looks like a storm. But more soccer fans may view this sensational event as a wake-up call. The controversial walkout of the Beijing Hyundai Football Team on October 2nd has sparked a fierce debate and strong protests against the chronic problem of corruption that plagues China's soccer competitions. As a result, the difficult verdict of the national football authorities may attract less attention than perhaps the long-awaited judicia intervention. Chinese soccer fans have long been disillusioned with the so-called black whistles and other fraudulent practice on the green field. Can the young professionalism of China's football go hand in hand with the outrageous commercialization of the China Super League? Joining us in the studio are Mr. Louis Liu, managing director of Rhino sports, and Mr. Keith Bradbury, general manager of China ClubFootball Football Club.
