The Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has announced that he will not attend the opening ceremony of the 2019 World Cup in Russia, saying that "China is ready to play in any event." However, the Chinese football club ShenZhen City Football Club, which plays in the Chinese Super League, has been suspended for two years due to financial problems. The suspension was caused by the club's failure to pay its creditors on time.
On the other hand, China's National Team coach Xie Dandan said that China will not give up until the end of this year. He also expressed confidence in the country's football team and said that they would be able to perform well at the World Cup.
In conclusion, both the Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Xie Dandan have expressed their belief in China's ability to perform well at the World Cup despite the difficulties faced by the Chinese football club ShenZhen City Football Club. It remains to be seen whether China can make it to the final or not, but the fact that both leaders have shown such confidence in China's football team suggests that the country is still very much committed to football and willing to continue playing international football.
