Suning vice president Yang Yang, spoke on behalf of the majority shareholding company of Inter at today’s shareholders meeting:
“First of all, Suning and our chairman Jindong Zhang, who is unable to be here today due to commitments in China, would like to send you their best regards. Some of you were here for our news conference in June, when Jindong Zhang set out the target of taking this great club back to the top of Serie A and the European game. Our chairman would like to reiterate his full support to Inter.
In the last four months Suning has provided its support on and off the pitch. From a football perspective we’ve set out on a journey with a new coach and some new top-level players.
On the commercial side, we’re working to open an office in China to grow our business in Asia. We’ll be opening an Inter store by the end of November and we’re working to find new sponsors on the Asian market to augment the club’s revenue.
Results-wise there have been some ups and downs since the start of the season. We saw how much energy and passion the Nerazzurri fans provide at San Siro and we’re determined to return to winning ways. Suning, president Erick Thohir and the entire management team are working in close contact with the same goal, which is to make Inter a major force in Italy and Europe once again.
I’d like to stress that our targets, both on the sports side and the commercial side, are unchanged and we will continue to offer our full support to the team and our management in the best interests of Inter and the club’s future.
Finally, I have a message for all of Inter’s fans and partners. Thank you for your continued support and for believing in Suning’s plans. I’m sure that together we’ll build a strong and, most importantly, a successful Inter team that we can all be proud of. Forza Inter!”

“Results-wise there have been some ups and downs since the start of the season.”
More like one up and 5 downs.
Let’s wait and see.. i don’t realy like the result so far, but we see some improvement last game. so let’s hope we can see some continuity
Very interesting what the son of the owner, Steven Shong, I think he’s name is said. He said that Inter would invest in January and indicated that players could arrive from China!
Maybe he meant we could transfer the likes of Ramirez, or the young striker who’s name I can’t remember just now or the great Brazilian attacking midfielder Teixeira, or something like that, to Inter.
Another possibility could to let Jiangsu splash big money for class act players, and then “loan” them to us in stead of having them in China.
Whatever the model it will nice to see who arrives!
Or maybe china wonderkid for some marketing
yes maybe… still; we don’t need some youngster who would need 2-3 months to get to know Italian football and culture
forza inter!!!
