In this round of transfers, seven of the 18 China League 1 clubs did not bring in any foreign players, while the other 11 clubs combined to bring in 22 new foreign aiders, with about eight of them belonging to internal mobility or having been active in the China Super League. Notably, eight clubs, including Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic, have completed their three foreign players, while six clubs, including Dalian Ren, have decided to adopt an all-Chinese squad for the first half of the new season.
