A policy introduced by the Association since the 2017 summer transfer window stipulates that Chinese Super League and Chinese League One clubs are required to pay an equal amount of attraction adjustment fee when bringing in foreign players if the single attraction fund exceeds RMB 45 million and domestic players exceed RMB 20 million.

The initial purpose of implementing this policy is to curb the excessive pursuit of short-term results by clubs and to avoid triggering a chain reaction in the market, which will in turn affect the healthy development of the league. The fee is planned to be earmarked for funding long-term planning projects such as youth soccer talent development and the construction of soccer public welfare facilities.
Although this idea seems reasonable, not only to ensure the freedom of investment of large clubs, but also to balance the negative impact of market overheating and short-term behavior on long-term development planning through the levy of reinforcement adjustment fee, but the reality is quite bone-headed.
On the one hand, the reinforcement adjustment fee lacks sufficient legal basis and is essentially just a

As a rule made by the governing body of the industry itself. Even taking into account the fact that the management of soccer is characterized by a certain degree of "professional autonomy", this fee still appears to be somewhat unjustified.

The use of the received reinforcement adjustment fee is also at a standstill, and has not been heavily invested in projects conducive to the long-term development of soccer as expected, but has been stranded in the

"Sleeping" in the account actually constitutes shelving or even waste.

The Association has rectified a number of historically unreasonable and unlawful fees.
Today, China's professional soccer environment is very different from three or four years ago. Those who can easily pay a huge amount of attraction adjustment fee of the luxury teams, are now eagerly waiting for this fee to become a "life-saving money". Guangzhou and Beijing

It is proposed to use it to pay back wages in arrears, while Shanghai Shenhua could use the money to pay former manager Flores, who won a lawsuit.
For is in the winter of China's professional soccer, attraction adjustment fee may only play a drop in the bucket, because originally have the ability to pay this fee is mostly big clubs rather than small and medium-sized clubs, but at least it is now able to help these big clubs to solve the pressing problem. Since this money did not play the role of "promoting development" that it was supposed to play, it is now being used to "make ends meet", which is also a kind of mending the fold.
"Attracting aid adjustment fee" may soon become "past tense". The reason for the failure of this initiative, in addition to force majeure, more from the soccer administrators in the formulation of the rules of the poorly thought out and implementation of the chaos of ineffective, worthy of further reflection.
