No matter what has led the probe to where it has now gone - we have all noticed recent remarks from the very top of the political hierarchy voicing concern about Chinese soccer - extending the probe to the highest level is a welcome development.

In order to transform the sport of soccer, we need to first make clear what has gone wrong, and of course who is responsible for the corruption.

Offenders and abusers must pay. But the revival of Chinese soccer entails more than that. That professional soccer has degenerated into a lawless realm has to do with not only morbid human desires. It is rooted in part in the management system.

Professional soccer in China is like a weird hybrid of naked commerce and bureaucracy. And it combines the ugliest from both worlds. But it will not be fair, either, to just point the finger at individual wrongdoers.
