The Chinese are lousy footballers in general, and also I'm not sure I want the kind of "fans" that such a transfer would generate. This transfer stinks.

why Man Utd more success than most of other clubs in Asia is that they know how to do business, they have 2 Asian players to open the Asia market, in fact, it's because of David Beckham, he really attracted many people being fans of Man Utd. Nike also help Man Utd design many accessories , not just making jersey.
I think Juventus must be more commercialized and make itself more globalized.

thats true a lot of people can be won over i am from the asian region but i can speak only for my country , there is albeit limited fan support for this great club , most of the guys and even the media are busy supporting their epl teams and always think England will win whatever tournament they play in.I recently sent a letter to a local paper stating for more media coverage of Serie A and as such but suprise surprise no blood reponse from them keep trying, thats all right with majority's blind patriotism to England and epl teams i usually make small sum betting against England and some Epl teams esp in the knock out phases of competitions 
are u saying the dumb NEWPAPER?
totally agree with you.

But I do have great fun taking a piss at the so-called "football fans" when EPL teams or England lose, which is quite often!
I really don't care where he is from. But you should bear in mind that Chinese are very different from European players. They take very little initiative their coach needs to tell them what is expected from them. This comes from personal experience as I've been working in HongKong on a regular basis. They work hard but have absolutely no creativety or sense of initiative. I heard the same goes for Japanese. Excellent in copying and taking over ideas but very seldom they come up with a sollution on their own.
From what I've seen from Chinese or Japanese football this trademark is present in their teams as well. Foreign coaches have been trying to change this.
Hiddink for one was very succesfull in doing so but I don't know if Koreans have the same mentality.
Like I said before, if he is good buy him but with Asians you should give them enough time to just to a different way of thinking. In Japan or China it is considered very offensive to say what is on your mind to a supperior, in this case a coach. That is simply not done in these countries. You have to tell them what to do.

Firstly, Chen Tao is actually a good player, part of a rapidly improving youth setup. He is an attacking midfielder, and will surely be one of the pinup boys of Chinese football for years.
With this is mind, even if the lad turns out to be not good enough to play for Juve, if he sells €20m worth of merchandise (Juve have an estimated 78m following in China), we get rid of him and bring in better players with the money what is the problem?
The only issue I can see is using the non-EU spot on him, but if Juve have no-one else in mind for this season I see no issue, he will cost peanuts.
It might devalue the image of the club and be seen as a marketing ploy but lets be realistic, all the top clubs are tapping into the Asian market and Juve are in danger of fallin behind, particularly given our financial situation is not what it once was.
Given the huge population and economic growth China will be the biggest money spinner in 5-10 years, bigger than Japan and Korea imo.
