What's heading to China? Just about everything

BEIJING - Back in 1982, in Scotland, a soccer friendly drew nearly 50,000 people to take a look at the visiting Chinese national team against the Glasgow Rangers. China lost, 3-1. Now one of the Ranger players in that match is helping bring some top world sports events and players to China, and this time, everyone seems to win.

Millions of Chinese snooker fans will have every reason to be joyous because of the soon-to-be-launched top events at home, as will motor sports and boxing lovers all around the country.

Ex-professional footballer David Mackinnon (pictured below) is now a director of Sport Pathways, a company in the UK set up to promote sporting excellence and assist in developing sport culture to all nations.
