All previous chairmen of Zhongchao Company have been dismissed
According to Beijing Youth Daily, on the afternoon of August 29th, the Chinese Football Association held a meeting of all middle-level cadres at its office building in Beijing. At the meeting, the relevant person in charge of the Chinese Football Association announced that Liu Jun, Deputy Leader of the Preparatory Group of the Chinese Football Association and Chairman of the Chinese Super League Limited Liability Company, has been taken away by relevant departments for investigation, and the relevant procedures for his detention have been completed.
Liu Jun is the 14th important figure in Chinese football to be taken away since former head coach Li Tie in November last year. It is also understood that the three-month internal education rectification work of the Chinese Football Association, originally scheduled to end at the end of August this year, will be extended by two weeks.
It is understood that 47 year old Liu Jun was taken away by relevant departments on the afternoon of August 28th. In the morning of that day, he also participated in the work of the preparatory group of the Chinese Football Association and discussed business issues with colleagues. But starting from that afternoon, colleagues from the preparatory team of the Chinese Football Association did not see his presence again.
For those familiar with domestic football, Liu Jun's name is not unfamiliar. More than 10 years ago, he served as the former General Manager of Jiangsu Shuntian Club in the Chinese Super League. At the end of 2018, before and after the award ceremony of the Chinese Super League that season, Liu Jun was invited by the then leaders of the Chinese Football Association to participate in the early preparation work of the professional league management organization, namely the Chinese Football Association. After entering the 2020 season, he teamed up with Huang Shenghua, the former chairman of Guangzhou City Club, to be responsible for the operation and management of the Chinese Super League. Liu Jun is mainly responsible for league management and business development. In July 2021, the preparatory group of China Football Federation was officially established, with Liu Jun serving as the deputy leader of the preparatory group. Subsequently, he succeeded Li Yuyi, the former Vice Chairman of the Chinese Football Association, as the Chairman of the Chinese Super League Company according to the procedure, and continued to focus on the business development and management of professional leagues.

After Liu Jun, the chairman of the Chinese Super League, was investigated, the company has lost six consecutive chairman positions. On the evening of April 28th, the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision released a message:
Li Yuyi, former vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, is suspected of serious violations and is currently under investigation by the disciplinary inspection and supervision team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission stationed at the General Administration of Sport and the Hubei Provincial Supervisory Commission.

According to the Governor of Chang'an Street, Li Yuyi, Ma Chengquan, and the former Vice Chairman of the Chinese Football Association, Yu Hongchen, who were previously investigated, are the three consecutive chairmen of the Chinese Super League. Going back further, Nan Yong and Yang Yimin fell from grace in 2010, and as of now, all previous chairmen of the Chinese Super League Company have fallen from grace.
