Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 10th: Sports Commentary: Don’t let utilitarianism ruin the future of Chinese football
Xinhua News Agency reporters Xiao Shiyao, Wang Haoyu and Li Chunyu
Recently, a serious false match incident broke out in the men's U10 group of the Beijing Division of the 2026 Fifth China Youth Football League. The report showed that the 16-year-old Orange team of Dongcheng Sports School and the Kickers Blue team tacitly shot own goals at each other in the competition center. The goalkeeper deliberately let go and acted absurdly.
As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. Why would a child under ten years old kick the ball into his own door?
The truth is not complicated, but it is dazzling enough: both teams have qualified in advance before the game. According to the schedule, the winning side will encounter a stronger opponent in the knockout round. As a result, the coaches of both sides unanimously chose to "take the initiative to lose." What is even more outrageous is that the on-site referees and game supervisors failed to stop this obviously unsportsmanlike behavior in time and allowed the farce to continue.
Unreasonable competition system design, useless on-site supervision, distorted and misplaced sports values —the three intertwined, eventually led to this farce that should not have happened.
The youth football league, which is supposed to be a pure land for nurturing dreams and a classroom for cultivating moral character, has now once again been tainted by the "match-fixing" scandal, which is heartbreaking.
A match-fixing ruins not only a game, but also the values of a group of children. At an age when children most need to cultivate a correct outlook on life and values and develop a sense of rules, coaches should have taught them that they must try their best no matter whether they win or lose, and they must be upright no matter whether they succeed or fail. Instead, for the sake of a seemingly glorious report card, they instigate children to take advantage of the rules and deeply embed the utilitarian thinking of "winning is everything" into the children's growth trajectory. This not only seriously distorts children's love and understanding of football, but also overdraws the public's trust in youth football competitions and shakes the foundation on which Chinese football is based. After all, when the youth stadium is polluted by utilitarianism, the future of Chinese football loses its purest hope.
After the incident, the Chinese Football Association and the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau quickly set up a joint investigation team and imposed a "football ban" on the team leader and coach involved. The reaction was not unpleasant and the attitude was not firm. It is important to severely punish the parties involved, but more important than treating the symptoms is to treat the root cause.
The match-fixing incident in the men's football B Group A final of the 2022 Guangdong Provincial Games is not far away. At that time, relevant departments also issued severe penalties, but in just a few years, similar scandals were staged again, which is enough to show that simple case-by-case punishments are just "pressing the gourd and raising the pot", and it is difficult to fundamentally curb the unhealthy tendencies in youth sports. Only by carrying out all-round and deep-seated changes can the cancer be completely eradicated.
First of all, the shortcomings in youth competition supervision and competition system design must be made up. The standards of youth events are not as good as those of professional events, but the bottom line of sports fairness cannot be lowered and supervision standards cannot be relaxed. Event organizers must be deeply vigilant, scientifically design schedule rules, plug speculation loopholes, strengthen on-site supervision, allow referees and game supervisors to truly perform their duties, have "zero tolerance" for violations, use thunderous means to stop unhealthy tendencies, and return youth football to a clean field.
More importantly, the misconception of some practitioners must be reversed - the first mission of youth football is never to rush for results, but to educate people. The sports arena is a small human society. Football teaches children not only passing and shooting, but also a sense of rules, fairness and justice. A correct outlook on winning, losing, and sports is the starting point for a correct outlook on life. If you teach your children to cheat in order to win, they may give up their bottom line for profit in the future; if you teach your children to rely on calculation to get "good grades", they may rely on speculation to take shortcuts in life.
In competitive sports, there is nothing wrong with pursuing victory, but we should resolutely oppose the abnormal orientation of "results only". Only by sticking to the bottom line can we have a future. Football starts from childhood, but also from conscience, and returns football to purity, love, and growth. This is responsible for every child who plays football, and it is the right way for Chinese football to get out of the predicament and move towards the future.

I recently rewatched an old movie and had a very deep feeling about it.
Twenty years ago, it was considered a phenomenal independent film. Such a movie would probably not be made today. Its stance bears a clear imprint of the "pre-political correctness era", but this movie is extremely suitable for today's Chinese society.
That was 2006, a year when the success ideology in the United States was at its highest and cracks began to appear.
At that time, Tony Robbins' motivational lectures filled stadiums, and Trump's catchphrase "You're fired" in every episode of "The Apprentice" turned the elimination logic of business competition into an entertainment spectacle. At the official level, the George W. Bush administration proposed the education policy of "No Child Left Behind" to embed the logic of competition into children's childhood lives.
There is a single sense of order flowing deep throughout American culture, where people are either rising or sinking, winners or losers.
The winner deserves everything, the loser has only themselves to blame.
"Little Miss Sunshine" exploded in this cultural atmosphere. Screenwriter Michael Arndt later talked about the creative motivation and said that he read Arnold Schwarzenegger saying to high school students, "I hate losers the most in my life. I despise them." There was an impulse in his heart to refute this sentence.
"Little Miss Sunshine"
The film thus sets its critical target from the very source—Richard Hoover. This is a failed motivational speaker who made a career out of promoting the Nine Steps to Success. Richard was the most faithful product of the spiritual climate of that era and the human embodiment of the ideology of success.
Placing such a character in the center of the all-round dysfunctional family in the film, and then letting the road trip peel away the foundation of his beliefs little by little, is the film's most subversive design of the success system.
The film uses a carefully designed structural counterpoint to achieve subversive and satirical goals. We see Richard's nine-step method and his real situation completely forming a cold contrast.
His lectures had only a handful of audiences, and his own children openly disdained everything he said. But the cleverness of the film is that it is not eager to let Richard suffer punishment at the plot level, but allows the life experience of everyone around him to quietly deconstruct his worldview.
Uncle Frank was the top Proust researcher in the United States and held the highest academic honors. He finally bid farewell to the competition by attempting suicide.
In order to become a fighter pilot, young Dwayne kept silent for nine months and armed himself with Nietzsche. The moment he discovered that he was color blind, all the silence turned into a roar.
Grandfather Edwin was expelled from the nursing home for heroin abuse and spent his later years using pornographic magazines and swearing, but he was the only person in the play who truly loved Olive unconditionally.
This family is an exhibition hall of failures created by American winner culture, but the narrative temperature of the film is never a sympathetic look down upon.
The section of Proust that Frank told Dwayne at the dock is unforgettable, not because it has any literary value, but because it logically directly dismantles the core presuppositions of success science.
The basis of success science is that pain is an obstacle that needs to be overcome, happiness is a state that should be optimized, and human value is externalized from achievement to visible victory.
Frank said that when Proust looked back at the end of his life, he concluded that those years of suffering were the best years, they shaped who he was; those happy years? Learned nothing.
This passage is like a key, allowing Dwayne, who is in the darkest moment of his life, to understand that failure itself can be a source of meaning. Its subversiveness lies not in opposing success, but in liberating failure from moral judgment and reducing it to a part of human experience itself.
However, one of the film's most critical narrative strategies is hidden in the place where it seems least politically correct.
Child beauty pageants are a long-standing, but never rigorously scrutinized, idiosyncratic part of American popular culture.
The participating girls wore close-fitting clothing, put on adult makeup, and performed simulated sexy catwalk movements. Parents watched with relish, and the organizers solemnly judged the performance.
The underlying logic of this ritual is that a seven-year-old girl's worth is determined by how well she simulates adult standards of beauty.
This is definitely a practice of sexual objectification of children, but because it is packaged in the form of a competition and circulated in the name of cultivating talents, it is culturally legitimate.
In the scene where Olive dances to the psychopathic Superman on stage, the film does something extremely dangerous in form, it puts a little girl on stage doing what from an outsider's perspective looks like a striptease. The adults in the audience were stunned, the host tried to drag her off the stage, and the organizing committee officials were furious.
But what the film makes clear is that Olive has no awareness of the sexual connotations of the routine - choreographed by her grandfather based on his sixty years of experience in strip clubs, and that Olive dances with total joy and no trace of provocation.
There is an ethical reversal here. Olive's performance is the closest to sexualization in form, but the purest in intention. Instead, the performances of all the other contestants surrounding her are the most harmless in social form, but the most complete in institutional sexual objectification of children.
The film uses this reversal to reveal the essential hypocrisy of beauty pageant culture. It does not really worry about the sexualization of children. It only uses so-called norms of decency to control the disciplinary process of female bodies starting from childhood.
Was Olive banished from the stage because her performance was morally inferior? Not so. The reason is actually that her performance cannot be incorporated into that order.
The reason why this strategy of the film has a strong contemporary attribute is that it can only be effective in the independent film context of the post-ironic era around 2006.
It uses a performance that is even more incorrect on the surface to reveal the real faults of the original system. It requires the audience to be willing to ask for meaning in the discomfort of the form, and it requires a viewing initiative that does not put morality before experience.
This is precisely the audience that American independent films cultivated during that historical period.
Directors Deighton and Faris started out shooting music videos and are very sophisticated at how to create visual pleasure while also embedding critical content.
The grandfather's heroin scene is another application of the same logic.
According to normal plot rules, an old man who takes drugs in the narrative will either be punished in the plot or be morally sympathetic as a tragic figure, but this film categorically rejects both paths.
Edwin's death is understated and provides no moral warning at all; he simply dies quietly in a motel bed.
The family's reaction was grief, but grief was followed by immediate action, stuffing his body into the trunk of the van and going on the road, because it was more important for Olive to compete than to come to terms with the ethics of death.
Therefore, Edwin’s heroin story and his unreserved love for Olive, instead of canceling each other out on the film’s ethical scale, reinforce each other.
It is precisely because he never measures anyone by the standards of decency that he can be the one who tells Olive to try bravely.
Likewise, Frank's homosexuality is mentioned almost passingly in the film. It was introduced by Olive’s questioning during a dinner scene and then sat there without becoming a plot-driven issue or even receiving any kind of special treatment.
In the United States in 2006, the battle to legalize gay marriage was at its most intense stage. Against this background, having a character's gay identity appear in such a homely way was a political stance in itself, but its power did not come from confrontation, but from normalization itself. Treating identity characteristics that should be controversial as trivial is the most radical destigmatization strategy possible.
At the end of the film, the broken yellow van drives onto the highway with its horn blaring continuously. The trumpet is a perfect metaphor for the anxious noise created by the logic of success, which once started cannot stop itself.
But there's no shame in the family sitting in this failing machine that keeps alarming, pushing it, jumping in, and moving on.
This is the most fundamental subversion of the film. It attempts to overturn the definition of success in the American mind, but it also does not want to provide an alternative.
It just shows that under the roar of winner's culture, people can choose not to participate in the game of judgment, and this choice itself is a kind of dignity.

According to him, although Iran agrees to sit down and negotiate with the United States, it does not mean the end of the war. The negotiation table is also a battlefield. Iran will continue to exert its efforts until it completely defeats the enemy. It will be more confident and proactive. The three new propositions proposed this time include that Iran must demand war compensation from the aggressors and vow to collect blood debts for the martyrs; Iran's management of the core Strait of Hormuz will enter a new stage; Iran will not give up all its legitimate rights and will consider all local resistance fronts as a whole.
The new three-point proposal is a streamlined version compared to the previous 10-point proposal made by Iran that cannot be changed. It lacks the necessity for the United States to withdraw its troops from various bases in the Middle East, guarantee not to use force against Iran (and obtain guarantees from the international community), lift various sanctions on Iran, and lift the freeze on Iran's overseas assets. From 10 items to 3, in theory, no matter how streamlined it is, it cannot cover all the requirements. Therefore, the new proposition has even been questioned as an initiative to make major concessions.
Three propositions
Iran’s 10 demands
As the supreme leader of Iran, he will not express his position easily. The three propositions are obviously based on the needs of the upcoming negotiations. After all, there is always room for negotiation in negotiations, so clear guidance is needed. The original conditions serve as the basis for negotiations but are not completely unchanged, so maximizing benefits locks in the core requirements. However, generally speaking, these three propositions still require relatively large concessions, at least to let the United States feel a certain degree of sincerity before the negotiation. It is a process of trade-offs for both parties, and cannot be set in stone until there is no negotiation.
Prior to this, although the United States reached a temporary ceasefire agreement with Iran and accepted the 10-point proposal proposed by Iran. But Trump quickly reneged on part of his promise, saying that he would throw the 10-point plan into the trash. At the same time, Israel was also making small moves, launching large-scale air strikes directly into Lebanon, causing more than 1,000 casualties. That is to say, they did not take Iran's conditions seriously. Hezbollah in Lebanon is a small partner of Iran. At this time, the air strike is to cut off Iran and make it give up.

The United States is even more exaggerated, directly proposing to take a piece of the pie in the Strait of Hormuz and cooperate with Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz to collect tolls. All signs indicate that the future negotiations between the United States and Iran will not be easy. At this time, the direction and requirements for the negotiations should be clarified. Therefore, Iran's new leader stated at the critical moment that he was not compromising but sticking to the bottom line.
In fact, the United States also has clear requirements that Iran is not allowed to possess nuclear weapons; Iran is not allowed to develop new missiles, and the range of existing missiles must be limited; and Iran is required to cut itself off from neighboring resistance groups. In fact, these conditions are to make Iran abolish its military prowess. The reason why Iran was able to force the United States to the negotiating table in this war was because of its asymmetric advantage of possessing various ballistic missiles. If the United States follows the requirements, Iran will soon be at the mercy of others.

Therefore, we must persist at this time and at least ensure that Iran has sufficient counterattack capabilities. Otherwise, the negotiations are not over yet. After the troops are deployed and ammunition is replenished, a new round of strikes by the United States and Israel may come again. Iran still has the initiative, so it can make some concessions appropriately and sign an agreement with the United States to ensure basic security. Only in this way can the national economy develop healthily. After all, it has been under sanctions for so many years. It is a rare opportunity for the United States to bow its head properly, so it will take the opportunity to finalize and give itself some room for development. As for U.S. war compensation, the possibility is estimated to be basically zero, but this can be used as a premise. It is a strategy to force the United States to make more concessions.

The Vietnamese government allows the North-South high-speed railway project to be split into 17 independent projects; it is allowed to adopt the form of designated bidding or restricted bidding...
The Vietnamese government issued Resolution No. 98/NQ-CP on April 6, regarding the implementation of Congress Resolution No. 265/2025/QH15, allowing the land acquisition compensation, support and restettlement (tái định cư) content of the North-South Axis High-Speed Railway project to be split into independent projects; adjusting some contents of Annexes I and II of Resolution No. 106/NQ-CP on April 23, 2025.
The largest independent project is the north-south high-speed railway construction line decided to invest by the Ministry of Construction. The goal is to be basically completed by 2035, with an initial total investment of more than 156 trillion VND.
At the same time, there are 15 projects on land acquisition compensation, support, resettlement (tái định cư) and relocation of technical infrastructure projects. According to Resolution No. 98/NQ-CP, the content of land acquisition compensation, support and restettlement (tái định cư) was split into 15 land acquisition and demolition projects with 15 provinces and cities as owners, and one project with Vietnam Electricity Group (Tập đoàn Điện lực Việt The power engineering relocation project implemented by Nam) is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2028.
The Vietnamese government’s resolution allows investment decision-makers to continue to split the above-mentioned projects into sub-projects or independent components to suit the size and characteristics of each road section.
Investment decision-makers do not need to go through the main investment approval procedures and can directly prepare, review and decide on investments. At the same time, they can carry out the construction of resettlement (tái định cư) resettlement areas based on the preliminary design in the pre-feasibility study report.

Regarding land acquisition and demolition, after the owner hands over documents to the local government and determines the actual boundary stakes, land acquisition compensation, support, resettlement (tái định cư) and technical infrastructure relocation will be carried out.
The Vietnamese government also allows the use of designated bidding or restricted bidding when selecting contractors to provide goods, consulting services, construction installation, and EPC (engineering-procurement-construction), EC (engineering-construction), EP (engineering-procurement) and turnkey contracts.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Construction was assigned to work with ministries, industries and localities to guide design consulting units to choose the straightest route possible, ensure technical parameters and adapt to topographic, geological and hydrological conditions to limit adjustments after land acquisition and demolition.
The Ministry of Construction of Vietnam stated that the consulting unit is improving the bidding plan and bidding documents for the survey and feasibility study report of the North-South High-Speed Railway Project. The organization is expected to select the contractor for the preparation of the feasibility study report in the second quarter.
The Vietnam North-South High Speed Railway Project has a total length of 1,541 kilometers, from Hanoi (Hà Nội) to Ho Chi Minh City (TPHCM). It is designed as a double line with a track gauge of 1,435 mm and a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. It includes 23 passenger stations and 5 freight stations; it mainly transports passengers and also meets cargo transportation needs when needed.
The initial total investment is approximately VND1,713 trillion (approximately US$67.34 billion), in the form of public investment, and is expected to be completed between 2025 and 2035.
It has only been a week since Toulin was elected as the President of Vietnam, and he has set the destination of his first visit to Beijing. This is not a courtesy visit, but a "clarification" trip. The new leader wants to tell the world which side of Vietnam's game of chess will be played first.
1. What does it mean to be elected unanimously?
On April 7, the Vietnamese Congress unanimously approved Su Lin as president of the country. The unanimous vote meant that there was not a trace of noise within the Vietcong. The factional game in Vietnam's political circle has always been complicated. What can silence everyone is either overwhelming strength or overwhelming consensus. Su Lin obviously has both.
What deserves more attention is the power structure. Su Lin serves as the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the President of the country at the same time. This formal and long-term "shoulder shoulder" has only been achieved by Nguyen Phu Trong in the history of Vietnam. This means that Vietnam's highest power structure has undergone a qualitative change, from traditional decentralized checks and balances to centralized leadership.
Vietnam's political structure was originally the famous "four carriages" - the general secretary, the president, the prime minister, and the president of the National Assembly, with checks and balances. Now it has become a "five-horse carriage", with the addition of the permanent secretary of the Secretariat, but the actual core is only four people, with Su Lin standing at the top. This power structure is the first of its kind in Southeast Asian countries.
2. Where does the confidence for 10% growth come from?
Su Lin made a harsh statement: From 2026 to 2030, the economic growth rate will reach over 10%. Vietnam’s current per capita GDP is just over US$5,000, so it’s no surprise that it’s not in a hurry.
But it is easy to shout slogans but difficult to fulfill them. What will it take for Vietnam's economy to reach a higher level? Rely on the United States? Trump’s tariff stick continues to hit. By Europe? Far water cannot quench near thirst. Accumulate by yourself? Too small and too slow. There is only one answer: China.
Last year, the bilateral trade volume between China and Vietnam exceeded US$290 billion, and China has been Vietnam's largest trading partner for many consecutive years. For many things Vietnam exports, the parts and components come from China, are assembled and then sold. The entire industrial chain cannot be transferred without China. Vietnam is like a mirror in its mind - who is the real economic backer and who cannot be offended.

3. What did you get in exchange for currying favor with the United States?
In order to stabilize the United States, Vietnam promised to open its zero-tariff market to American goods. Do you think you can get a good look this way? The result? Trump still imposed a 20% tariff on Vietnamese exports to the United States, showing no mercy at all.
Zero tariffs gave way to the market, but what they got in return was rip-offs. Vietnam has completely figured it out - flattery cannot be exchanged for respect, and the United States only sees interests and no friends. In 2023, Vietnam and China will build a strategic China-Vietnam community with a shared future. This positioning is a solid strategic choice, not a polite word.
Su Lin's two first visits were all focused on China. Economic development is tied to China, and even if he was deceived by the United States, he would always turn to China. Vietnam illustrates with actions: You can talk about "bamboo diplomacy" without offending both sides, but wherever your feet go, your body is more honest than your words.
4. Vietnam’s choice, China’s opportunity
When Su Lin comes here this time, he will definitely talk about hard-core content such as economic cooperation, infrastructure, and industrial chain docking. If Vietnam wants to take off, the runway can only be built here in China.
For China, it is a good thing no matter how you look at it, Vietnam, as its neighbor, is stable, developing and close to us. Some people worry that Vietnam will become a competitor of China. This view is narrow-minded. Two socialist countries, one with a large economy and strong manufacturing industry, and the other with a small size and fast growth, are far more complementary than competitive. China's industrial chain is moving to the high end, and Vietnam is undertaking the shift to the mid-to-low end. This is not a threat, but a win-win situation.
Vietnam finally understands who its real hope is. This trip to Beijing is very important.
What do you think China and Vietnam can negotiate during Su Lin’s visit to China? Chat in the comment section.
