This question I answered a netizen before, you should be able to search:

China-Japan rivalry China-Thai rivalry From the 1990s it appeared.

Because the Chinese traditional martial arts are backward, seriously lack of combat ability, unbearable, and in the late stage can only rely on theory and folklore to maintain the last bit of dignity; therefore, in the 1970s, in order to make Chinese kung fu and the world in line, China launched the "Sanda". But for fear of being called a closed shop, a number of friendly, non-commercial stand-up combat tournaments were organized under the umbrella of the Chinese Wushu Association (which is the same as the Chinese Football Association, go figure).

The rules of the tournament are specified by the Chinese side. Referees are Chinese. The location is in China. There is virtually no live audience (the camera never dares to leave the four-way rope ring) because they can't afford to hold commercial events.

The Japanese Yakuza, Thai Muay Thai fighters, and American freestyle fighters who came to our country were all 3rd tier fighters, and even many of the Americans were part-timers. The reason is very simple: 1 line of please do not come, really came to sweep the ring, the Wushu Association and the face of the country where the 2 line of please can not afford, you are not a commercial tournament, the appearance fee of a few thousand yuan of yuan or from the activities of the funds and private sponsors squeezed out of the place, to send out to the beggar? So the only way to do this is to hire a 3rd tier, which is cheaper and less powerful, and the most important thing is to be obedient, just pay the money, and do whatever you want to do.

Well, the exciting big game has finally begun! Newspaper headlines: 3-0 5-0 or even 10-0! Look at our country's prestige! The Chinese are the ones who will be the most powerful in the world!

This kind of closed door to the family type of "international tournament" has survived for many years, and to this day there are, but the country has gradually awake, but the mechanism is here, still need time to thaw.
