Chapter 37 sequence

The Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department is conducting an extensive investigation of the entire Chinese football community. Although it has always shown great interest in the unspoken rules and black-box operations in this professional field, in essence, it must be like Lin Zexu who sold cigarettes in Humen. It is based on the state apparatus's concerns about social stability and the outflow of silver. Whether it is for mutual understanding of performance, or purely for the purpose of manipulating the results and obtaining huge profits through underground gambling, there is always a shadow of gambling behind it.

Having said that, our topic should turn to attacking the evil devil of gambling.However, this is not a problem that can be solved by traditional moral logic. Underground football betting is an industry problem, but it is also a microcosm of a social problem. We really want to improve our understanding and look at an industry problem from a social standpoint. In fact, in the face of this major social problem, it is estimated that more than half of the voices in the government are expressing the concept of "sparing and not blocking". The Chinese government in transition period is a difficult subject.

In April 2004, Xu Jialu, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said in a speech in Macau that in order to block capital outflows, maintain financial security, and strengthen the construction of a clean government, the Chinese government has waged a fight against outbound gambling activities and blocked mainland residents from leaving the country to neighboring countries. Neighboring countries such as Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, North Korea, and Russia participated in gambling channels, causing casinos in these countries to close down one after another. However, in order to take care of the economy of the Macao Special Administrative Region, they have opened the door and continued to allow mainland residents to travel in the form of "individual visits", which is tantamount to "tacitly allowing" mainland residents to go out of the country to participate in gambling in Macau.This is an embarrassing situation. Out of the consideration of "not letting the rich water flow to outsiders" and in order to maintain the image of "one country, two systems", this gap must be allowed to exist, but this gap is likely to make the hard-working "blocking The "protective net" is in vain, and it will inevitably lead to a large loss of funds in the mainland, and underground finance is rampant. Officials will continue to be corrupted and dragged into the water, and private business owners will continue to fail and go bankrupt.

There is still only one answer, the blockage cannot be blocked. Even if there is no Macau, can other passages be really blocked?Blocking the exits for gambling is more like banning exits. Is it possible to "close the country" again?Will officials no longer have the opportunity to be corrupt? The Public Welfare Lottery Research Institute of Peking University has actually existed as a staff organization for the government to study gaming affairs. In recent years, they have maintained a high degree of attention to football betting. As an industry with a wide range of influences, it can be used as the best template when considering whether the national gaming industry is open or not.

Their function is to use football to look at social issues, and our purpose is to use society to think about football issues. Football is not inherently dirty, nor will it be dirty forever. If we can find a "blocking protection net" for football, we believe that it is to cancel football, and then let the problems that have occurred in football be transferred to Another project with wide-ranging implications goes up. Sparse is better than blocking, there is no blocking, only sparse. Football needs a bright start. For more than ten years, Chinese football has been indiscriminate, but it has been bravely playing the image of a "mine detector" to explore the market outside the system, and has become a "living test subject" for the study of fake gambling. Every industry needs sunshine.

What may surprise many people is that this crackdown on counterfeiting and gangsters is not actually "the will of the top" as most people think, but the wishful thinking of Chinese people who are used to governing the country with clean officials. At the beginning of this book (that is, the day Yang Xu was arrested), we saw General Secretary Hu Jintao’s speech on Chinese football at the National Games. There is also the topic of football when State Councilor Liu Yandong visited the UK... These seemingly high-level plots are more of a coincidence. According to the facts we have, the most direct reason for this crackdown on counterfeiting and crime is a piece of Interpol red notice sent from Singapore.

In fact, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security, a member of Interpol, had to fulfill this obligation, which sparked the anti-crime campaign in Chinese football in 2009.Of course, it cannot be denied that due to the progress of the times, the Chinese police have cracked down harder than any time in history, and there will be no match-fixing rumors like the ironic "country counterattack" in 1994. China's values ​​are improving, and the values ​​of Chinese football are also improving. Therefore, the betting action led by the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Bureau is firm and powerful, especially the "independence of the judiciary" and "refusing the Football Association to enter the task force" and other measures show that the relevant parties have realized that Chinese football is no longer a sport, but a social phenomenon that hundreds of millions of people are concerned about. The focus of the case involves "commercial bribery of game manipulation for money", and it also strips away ordinary stadium violations from the level of case handling.

All the enjoyment is not isolated. The same problem has been entangled in European football for 111 years. Even in Europe, there are many rumors that cannot be investigated. In fact, if you pay a little attention to the Internet, you will find that even Europe is cracking down on counterfeiting and crimes at this time, and the intensity is even stronger than that in China. Some experts believe that this is not a coincidence, this is a global joint operation of Interpol.
