While China may be well known for skill of its ping pong players, pers and gymnasts - it's not exactly famous for producing soccer talent.

But some of the nation's educators want to change that. A new initiative hopes to train the next generation of Chinese soccer stars for success on the world's biggest sporting stage.

BON's Andrew Livingstone has the story.

Now we reported here recently the case of a young Chinese student who breached airport security to kiss his girlfriend goodbye, triggering the shutdown of a busy Newark Airport terminal in New Jersey. The romantic gesture led to flight delays worldwide, and the arrest of the 28 year old Romeo. He’s now been charged with trespassing and faces a fine of up to $500.

Security video shows Jiang Haisong, a doctoral student at Rutgers University simply ducking under a rope barrier and walking "hand in hand toward the boarding area". But Local Senator Frank Lautenberg is furious that Jiang faces what he says is no more than a "slap on the wrist".

The senator said the act was "premeditated" and did “terrible injustice" to the thousands of travellers who were inconvenienced. He’s even suggested Jiang be deported.

Now the incident has caused massive online reaction in China. Let's go to BON's Jackie Wen in the newsroom to see what net users are saying about this.
