The **2012 Chinese Super League** was the ninth season since the establishment of the [Chinese Super League](/source/Chinese_Super_League), the nineteenth season of a [professional](/source/Professional_sports) [football](/source/Association_football) league and the 51st top-tier league season in [China](/source/China). It began on March 10, 2012 and ended on November 3, 2012.[1]

The matches that were intended to be held on September 15 and 16, 2012 were suspended for a later date due to an international dispute between China and [Japan](/source/Japan) over the [Senkaku Islands](/source/Senkaku_Islands).[2] With [Hangzhou Greentown](/source/Zhejiang_Professional_F.C.) having a Japanese manager and several [Chinese demonstrations](/source/2012_anti-Japanese_demonstrations_in_China) arising throughout China it was decided that the September 23, 2012 match against [Liaoning Whowin](/source/Liaoning_F.C.) should be played [behind closed doors](/source/Behind_closed_doors_(sport)) with the Xianghe National Football Training Base used as a neutral venue.[3]
