In Beijing on March 11, media personality Li Xuan spoke out on social media about the long-term unpaid wages faced by domestic players, not only voicing the players' grievances, but also advocating for the construction of a players' guild to safeguard their rights and interests.
In the past, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers Football Club owed wages to foreign aid player Ahmedov, who filed a lawsuit against the Chinese Super League club and the World Football Association (WFA) with the assistance of his lawyers and successfully obtained disciplinary sanctions. Recently, Zhu Yi, the China administrator of DFB, revealed that Tianjin Jinmen Tigers had settled all of Ahmadov's wages at the end of February, and the transfer ban imposed by the World Football Association was lifted.
While foreign aiders are able to use the power of international organizations to solve their problems when facing unpaid wages, the issue of unpaid wages for domestic players has remained unresolved, with many players having to take to social media platforms to publicly demand their wages. In this regard, Li Xuan made a profound analysis on her personal social media.
Li Xuan bluntly said: "This is not only the problem of the Jinmen Tiger family, even if the money owed to the foreign aid, there are people to supervise, the club must fulfill the obligation to pay. The Chinese players, they can only wait for the ruling of the Arbitration Commission, even if the ruling comes down, the implementation is also far away, this is the status quo of Chinese soccer. Chinese players, it's time to form a players' union!"
