Background
For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation. After World War II, the Communists under MAO Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. After 1978, his successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled. For much of the population, living standards have improved dramatically and the room for personal choice has expanded, yet political controls remain tight.

Fan Zhiyi put a disappointing 1997 behind him to become the first Chinese player to play in England when he joined First Division side Crystal Palace. The improvement in the Chinese international's game was no more evident than in December's Asian Games in Thailand, when the centre-half inspired a young side to beat the host country in the bronze-medal play-off match, after losing to eventual winners fran in the semis.
