Chinese football, the shining pearl of the country's sports industry, has repeatedly suffered from corruption in the course of its development, which has become a cancer hindering its healthy development and seriously eroding public trust. Digging deeper into the root causes of its corruption problem, we find that it is the result of a combination of complex factors. These factors are like an intertwined mess that has allowed corruption to take root in Chinese football. Only by comprehensively sorting out these factors can we find a good way to curb corruption and escort the healthy development of Chinese football.
In the past, the management system of Chinese football showed typical characteristics of political integration, that is, the responsibilities of the sports administration department and the Chinese Football Association overlapped, resulting in excessive concentration of power and lack of supervision mechanism. This phenomenon of no separation between government and society, and between government and enterprise, makes the process of resource allocation lack transparency and fairness, and provides soil for power rent-seeking, thus giving rise to a series of corrupt behaviors.
The football industry has huge economic potential, with a large amount of capital flowing around the organization of events, transfer transactions, sponsorship and investment, and the loopholes in the system give some managers, club leaders, referees and even players the opportunity to make illegal profits from it. In particular, in the process of increasing the degree of marketization, the impulse to pursue profits has prompted some participants to deviate from the principle of fair play and get involved in gambling, match-fixing and other fields, which has seriously damaged the purity of football.
In the past years, the internal supervision and external legal restraint mechanisms of Chinese football have been weak, and the investigation and punishment of violations have been slightly insufficient, and the punishment standards are different, which to a certain extent acquiesce to the breeding of corruption. At the same time, social supervision and public participation are also limited, which is difficult to form an effective binding force, resulting in corruption being difficult to curb.
In the social environment of quick success, the football world is not immune, and often ignores long-term development for the sake of short-term achievements and fame. Some practitioners choose to take shortcuts, pursue victory by unscrupulous means, and even violate the rules, which seriously undermines the healthy development of the industry. Just like a sapling, if it doesn't get the right nutrients and sunlight, it will grow crookedly and eventually can't become a towering tree. Similarly, if football lacks a healthy environment and rules, the future of the industry will be dire. Therefore, we need to promote the concept of abiding by the rules, respecting the rules, and pursuing long-term development, so that the football world can be revitalized and revitalized.
In the face of the above problems, China** has gradually realized the importance of deepening the reform of the football system. For example, the 2015 "Adjustment and Reform Plan of the Chinese Football Association" marked the beginning of the "de-administrative" promotion of Chinese football, and the Chinese Football Association decoupled from the General Administration of Sport of China, aiming to build a management system that is more in line with the laws of modern football development, strengthen industry self-discipline, and strengthen internal and external supervision mechanisms.
In addition, it has intensified the crackdown on football corruption cases, strictly enforced party discipline and state law, resolutely punished all kinds of corruption, and reshaped a fair and just competition environment. At the same time, it promotes the popularization of youth football and the development of campus football, advocates a healthy football culture, and cultivates a good industry trend from the source.
In conclusion, solving the problem of corruption in Chinese football is a systematic project, which requires multi-dimensional efforts such as continuously deepening reforms, improving the legal environment, strengthening industry supervision, and cultivating a good cultural atmosphere to ensure that Chinese football truly embarks on a healthy and standardized development track.
