The income disparity within Chinese sports circle is huge. In soccer clubs, the highest annual salary is 5 to 6 million yuan (US $604,000 to US $725,000). Other main players can earn around 2 million yuan (US $240,000) a year. The annual salary of members of the Chinese National Women’s Softball Team is, however, 10,000 yuan (US$1,200). The team’s limited budget allows each player just two sets of training gear.
