China, a country of over 1.3 billion people, is riding high on the global stage. But success at the world's most popular sport is eluding the nation.

In the second part of his series on the growth of football in China, Clive Anderson explores the relationship between Britain and China as President Xi Jinping embarks on a massive football reform programme.

Clive visits a school in Beijing where PE teachers are being trained by Premier League coaches, and he explores how foreign players are being imported to improve the Chinese game. Even David Beckham has been hired as a Chinese football Ambassador.

But can China achieve the same success at football as it has in Olympic sports - and what impact might this have on its relationship with the rest of the world?
