[edit] Club career

Mao Jianqing started his professional football career in 2004 with Shanghai Shenhua after graduating from their youth team[2]. In his first season season for Shanghai Shenhua he played in five games, however he would not score his first goal and establish himself for Shanghai until the 2006 season where he was a significant part of the team that came second in the Chinese Super League[3].

[edit] International career

Mao Jianqing made his debut against Palestine national football team in a 2-0 win under Zhu Guanghu in 2006[4].

His performances were good enough for a call-up in the 2007 AFC Asian Cup squad where he started as first choice left-wing. He started all of China's games in the tournament where they were knocked out in the group stages and scored his only goal of the tournament against Iran in their 2-2 draw[5].

[edit] Off-the-field controversies

In December 2008 Mao Jianqing was arrested for his involvement in a bloody restaurant brawl in the city where a local man was beaten and two women were hurt. The fight started in an apparent fit of jealousy over a woman and came hours after Shanghai Shenhua team suffered a disappointing tie that cost them the league title[6]. After being held in custody for one week and a public apology, Mao was allowed to return to Shanghai Shenhua[7].
