Chinese football is booming these years with massive public interest, huge investments and foreign top players arriving to the Chinese Super League.

More and more clubs invest in professional foreign coaches and experts to help create the right environment and build up successful structures for the Chinese football clubs.

The Chinese sports industry has a proud history developing many Olympic gold medal winners and top athletes. What are the strengths and challenges of China's sports industry? Can the Western world learn from the Chinese methods and mindset?
