My mate lives in China, big Bristol Rovers fan so gets his football fix by watching his local CSL side. Always tells me the standard is not much better than a lot of teams Rovers play week in week out, some of the Chinese players lack very basic skills and the numerous journeymen Brazilians and the big money signings that go there are visibly frustrated when their team mates just can't do the basics. He reckons apart from the fans that go to the stadium the interest in the Chinese league among the rest of the country is minimal. they prefer to watch the European leagues and a few signings ain't going to change that.
