On February 20, a notice jointly issued by the Tangshan Municipal Development and Reform Commission and the Tangshan Municipal Bureau of Sports aroused the attention of all parties. Now, with various media confirming, Hebei Huaxia Happiness, now renamed Hebei, is infinitely closer to relocating to Tangshan. Although the future is to adopt the Tangshan, Langfang double home system or completely move the club to Tangshan has not yet been decided, but the Hebei team's crisis is expected to be resolved in this way.
For many teams that are currently in an unknown state, the government stepping in will undoubtedly allow them to see the hope of survival, and this may also herald a brand new pattern for the future of the Chinese Super League. In terms of economic volume, the city of Tangshan does have the strength to bring in a Chinese Super League team. Although Tangshan is only a prefecture-level city in Hebei Province, it is the largest city in the province in terms of economic strength, with a GDP of 721.09 billion yuan in 2020, ranking 28th in the national GDP rankings, compared to Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei, which will have a GDP of only 593.51 billion yuan in 2020. Although Tangshan is a typical heavy industry city, it is also called "the cradle of China's modern industry". However, since the 13th Five-Year Plan, Tangshan's economy is gradually shedding the old impression of "traditional industry," "heavy structure," and "weak innovation capacity. " the old impression, to the connotative growth change, step by step to create a transformation empowered by the "new business card". At the same time, Tangshan is now an important port city, according to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications data, in the 2020 national port throughput rankings, Tangshan Port ranked 3rd, only after Ningbo Zhoushan Port and Shanghai Port. The economic strength is undoubtedly the bottom of the city of Tangshan want to have a Chinese Super League team. In particular, the notice mentioned Tangshan City Culture and Tourism Group, also known as Tangshan City Culture and Tourism Investment Group Co. Tangshan City Culture and Tourism Group was founded in 2008, formed in 2018 as a municipal state-owned key enterprises, registered capital of 3.18 billion, total assets of more than 20 billion, this heavyweight state-owned enterprises may play an important role in the process of Hebei team settled in Tangshan. In the joint notice, the city of Tangshan will be the introduction of the Chinese Super League team rose to the height of enhancing the city's image, stimulate economic development and promote the upgrading of the soccer industry are of great significance, such an understanding of the introduction of Shijiazhuang Yongchang, and hope to soccer business card to enhance the image of the city, to create a model of China's soccer and the city of the combination of the development of the Cangzhou City and the benchmark is not inconsistent with the development of the concept. On the other hand, the joint notice also mentioned that the introduction of the Chinese Super League team is in accordance with the Tangshan Municipal Party Committee Secretary's instructions to promote the work, which is similar to the Chongqing Contemporary to get the Chongqing Two Rivers New District Two Rivers Group injection of capital, that is, both have received strong support from the municipal government. In addition, the participation of the Tangshan Municipal Culture and Tourism Group, also reminiscent of the previous shareholding changes in the two clubs Shandong Luneng and Henan Jianye, Jinan Municipal Culture and Tourism Group and Luoyang Municipal Culture and Tourism Group became their shareholders, respectively, and the operation of the two teams is very stable. The so-called "Culture and Tourism Group", in fact, is the provinces and cities to incubate, promote the development of local culture, sports, tourism industry and the establishment of investment and financing platforms, behind most of them by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission around the actual holdings, the advantage lies in the funds prying ability is outstanding, the scale of fund-raising is huge, while decision-making ability to be more flexible, the approval process is more concise.

Not counting the Cangzhou Lions, who have been relegated to the Chinese Super League, there are five teams in the Chinese Super League, including Shandong Taishan, Henan Songshan Longmen, Changchun Yatai, Chongqing Contemporary, and Hebei, which have already been or may be in the future, supported by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) or even the government, or even directly controlled by SASAC.
Some of them, such as Henan Songshan Longmen and Cangzhou Lions, took the initiative to seek cooperation with the government to achieve a win-win situation for the club and the city, while others, such as Chongqing Contemporary, were in a difficult situation and the government took the lead to provide the appropriate financial support or equity optimization to help them out of a new way of development, which is different from that of Tianjin Tianjin Tianjin Tigers, Shanghai Seaport, and Shanghai Shenhua, which is owned by the state-owned enterprises listed companies or state-owned companies holding a mixed system.
