This site talks about the Chinese Super League and how the Chinese spent millions of money just to win the World Cup. The Chinese president is supportive to this and he is the main character that put this plan into play. China's president Xi Jinping is wanting his country to be a football superpower. I think this is similar to the arms race because countries are competing with each other about how good they are and are wanting to be the superpower. Except that this is a more safer and is not competing with weapons or anything, but their abilities and football skills. I think competition is a good thing but China has crossed the line to where they are too desperate to win and are making discreditable choices. This site says that China used more that $100 million signing big Brazilian names like Oscar and Hulk. I think that this was not necessary and it is shameful in a way that China's president thinks that the Chinese players are not good enough to win the World Cup and he is recruiting overseas players for that reason. This would be outrageous to the Chinese players because they are giving their best and recruiting overseas players degrades the Chinese players quite a bit. All this spending wasn't necessary and it would have been better if the president used that money to rebuild China and make it a better place to live.
