DESCRIPTION:Since initiating a set of large-scale reforms in the field of
  football at the highest political level in 2014\, China is aiming to be
 come a leading football nation by 2050. With a clear focus on a strong m
 en’s national team\, China’s professional football clubs should function
  as breeding grounds for local talent and a driver of a still comparativ
 ely underdeveloped football industry.\n\nFollowing the government’s call
 \, football is seeing a huge boom in recent years\, with numerous new ac
 tors with diverse goals entering Chinese professional football. But what
  drives this boom and its main actors? What are the motivations and cons
 traints of Chinese football investors in the nexus between sport\, busin
 ess and politics? The talk tries to give answers to these questions and 
 elaborate on the reforms six years after their launch.
