China's new football chief Wei Di says the Ministry of Public Security is investigating more clubs allegedly involved in match-fixing and gambling.

Wei refused to name the clubs, saying more evidence is still needed. He added that the China Football Association will hand out severe penalties to offenders. Previously, The China Football Association had punished three teams for manipulating matches. Two Super League clubs, Guangzhou and Chengdu, were demoted to Class-A level. And Qingdao Hailifeng, a Class-A club, was dismissed with a fine of 200,000 yuan.
