The Chinese league is completely out of control at the start of 2016. They have spent more than any other league on the planet to sign footballing stars on giant contracts. Their transfer window does not close for the next 16 days, and the teams have not stopped making huge signings.
After clearing out the Brazilian market's best players, they went to Europe, making a splash with the transfers of Chelsea midfielder Ramires, Roma winger Gervinho, Inter Milan midfielder Fredy Guarín, Atlético Madrid striker Jackson Martínez, and most recently Shakhtar Donetsk star Alex Teixeira.
