Back in 2002 when the one and only time China had qualified for the World Cup (mainly due to Japan and S Korea co hosting), rumour was, each goal will get the player 1 Million US, the team gets 5 mil for a win, 3 Mil for a draw. In the end, zero goal and zero point, so I guess no one got rich from the tournament!

Asian Cup ?
China is pumping big money into football and the Chinese Football league is very rich.
China wants to be a major player in the World Game.
But the level of football in China, as reflected in it's national team is still pretty weak, despite all the money they are pumping into it.
It would not surprise me if China is offering huge bonuses to it's players.
But most countries do this, it's just that China does things on a bigger scale.
