What happened to the Guan Xiuchang incident?

Guan Xiuchang is a Chinese-American player with a forged Chinese ID card. It is reported that "Guan Xiu Chang"'s parents are overseas Chinese in Vietnam. He himself cannot speak Chinese and has played in college leagues in the United States. During the CBA 2007-2008 season, Guan Xiuchang played for the Xinjiang Guanghui team with his ID card showing that his residence was in Harbin. In the 18 games that "Guan Xiuchang" played on behalf of the Xinjiang team, the Xinjiang team won 15. However, the registration information shows that this short guard, who is only 1.72 meters tall, averaged only 6.2 points per game. Since mid-December 2007, individual clubs and media have questioned the identity of "Guan Xiuchang". However, "Guan Xiuchang" has not played since the 26th round of the regular season between Xinjiang and Shanxi. Xinjiang first called him "Guan Xiuchang" Habitually dislocated"

Unable to play, and later directly investigated by the basketball management center, it was stated that he was missing. After investigation assisted by the immigration department, it was confirmed that "Guan Xiuchang" had flown back to the United States on flight CA983 on the evening of December 26, 2007. Because Xinjiang Guanghui violated the Chinese Basketball Association's regulations on the use of foreign aid, the leadership of the Basketball Management Center decided that Xinjiang Guanghui team player "Guan Xiuchang" participated in 18 games at one time. In the 18 games he participated in , won 15 games and lost 3 games. In the 15 games won, points were calculated based on Xinjiang's 0-20 loss to the opponent. Therefore, the Xinjiang team's points were subtracted by 15 points, and the points became 41, ranking 11th. The original 3rd to 11th places were moved up one place in order. , rankings after 11th place remain unchanged. The Basketball Management Center also decided to submit the matter of "Guan Xiuchang" using a fake Chinese resident ID card to the public security department for investigation and handling. "Guan Xiuchang" will never be allowed to participate in basketball games organized by the Chinese Basketball Association in China.

The incident:

As early as the beginning of the season, there were questions about the nationality of Xinjiang Guanghui player Guan Xiuchang. It was reported that this person was not of Chinese nationality. Therefore, It should be counted as a foreign aid for the Xinjiang team. According to regulations, each team can only have two foreign players. Not counting Guan Xiuchang, the Xinjiang team already has two foreign players. Guan Xiuchang played 18 games for the Xinjiang team this season, averaging 6.2 points per game. As the regular season enters the final stage, Jiangsu media once again questioned Guan Xiuchang's identity. During this period, some clubs verbally reported the situation to the Chinese Basketball Association. The Chinese Basketball Association also sent personnel to investigate, and Xinjiang’s attitude was not very positive. After verification, Guan Xiuchang's Heilongjiang ID card and Macau passport provided by Xinjiang were both forged. Guan Xiuchang used an American passport when flying during the game, even though the Basketball Association issued a notice prohibiting Guan Xiuchang from leaving the team and temporarily ordered him to leave the team. He stayed at the club waiting for notification of the investigation, but at the end of last year Guan Xiuchang secretly returned to the United States. The Xinjiang Club's statement was "uninformed" about the circumstances of this matter. The Chinese Basketball Association announced the final result last night after holding consecutive meetings to discuss how to handle this matter. The mystery surrounding the identity of Xinjiang Guanghui player Guan Xiuchang was finally solved on January 10, 2008. The Chinese Basketball Association held a briefing meeting last night and announced that Guan Xiuchang was actually a Chinese-American player. It was illegal for the Xinjiang team to allow Guan Xiuchang to participate when it already had two foreign players. It was determined that the Xinjiang team ended with 0 in the 18 games that Guan Xiuchang participated in. Losing by 20, the Xinjiang team dropped from 3rd in the regular season to 11th. Zhejiang Guangsha, originally ranked 9th, replaced the Xinjiang team in the playoffs, and the situation in the first round of the playoffs was immediately announced.

On the afternoon of January 10, 2008, the reporter received a notice that the Basketball Association held a briefing meeting at 19:30 that day to announce the results of the Guan Xiuchang incident. It was just 19 o'clock when the reporter arrived at the Basketball Association conference room. The place was already full of people, and reporters who had no seats stood in a row against the wall. At 19:30, Wang Du, deputy director of the Basketball Management Center, and Hao Guohua, director of the CBA League Office, walked into the conference room. The venue where they had been whispering just now was completely silent. Hao Guohua first introduced the ins and outs of Guan Xiuchang's identity fraud, "In September 2007, when Xinjiang Guanghui Club went through the registration procedures for the 2007-2008 season, the identity certificate provided by Guan Xiuchang was the ID card of Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. Later local media Some clubs reported to the Basketball Association that this person was not a Chinese player. The Chinese Basketball Association, with the assistance of the Ministry of Public Security, verified that Guan Xiuchang’s Chinese ID card was a forgery. On December 25 last year, Xinjiang Guanghui Club issued another to the Chinese Basketball Association. A copy of Guan Xiuchang's Macau passport and Macau birth certificate were later found to be forgeries. "What's dramatic is that we learned from the National Exit and Entry Administration that Guan Xiuchang took the flight on the evening of December 26, 2007." Flight CA983 returned to the United States with an American passport, "Hao Guohua said, "After multiple verifications, it was determined that Guan Xiuchang was actually a Chinese American and should be a foreign player. In the 18 games of the Xinjiang team, three foreign players appeared on the field. , violated relevant regulations. We held a league disciplinary committee meeting and set up an investigation team to investigate in Xinjiang. At the subsequent league work meeting, we also asked the Xinjiang club to explain and gave them a chance to speak." After confirming the facts, the Basketball Team said. How to play Xie Xie's board has attracted much attention. After Hao Guohua paused for a moment, he read out the punishment results, "First, the Xinjiang team lost 0-20 in the 18 games in which Guan Xiuchang participated, and the Xinjiang team was dropped to 11th place. Second, Guan Xiuchang used a fake ID. The Ministry of Public Security has been asked to investigate. Third, Guan Xiuchang will never be allowed to participate in any competition in China.

"This penalty was obviously beyond the expectations of the reporters present, and the atmosphere in the venue briefly solidified. Then, I don't know who took the lead. The reporters in the audience applauded warmly and applauded the penalty of the Basketball Association.

Subsequently, Hao Guohua made a self-criticism on behalf of the CBA League Office. He said that they had oversight oversight in matters such as registration, which gave some people an opportunity to take advantage of it and had a negative impact on the league. For this reason, the Basketball Association will investigate Issues related to relevant responsible persons and improve relevant management systems.
