CHINA will launch a professional baseball league in seven cities this year as a springboard to creating an Asia-wide league involving regional powerhouses Japan and Taiwan over the next six years.
QSL Sports Limited, owned by Chinese-born American financier Kenny Huang, has signed a long-term deal to co-manage the league with the Chinese Baseball Association. "I believe the partnership... will bring forward transformational changes to the sport of baseball in China," Huang said. "In the coming six years, we aim to create an Asian baseball league between China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea, most of whom have long been strong baseball league players on the world stage." Shanghai is among the cities that will host the new league in July and August this year besides Beijing, Tianjin, Wuxi, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou and Chengdu.
