In matches where the China National Men’s Football Team are involved, the international referee will receive RMB 12,500 for a single match and each of his assistant referees will be paid RMB8,800. 

When they are officiating in football tournaments featuring the China National Men’s Football Team, the payment for the referee will be 3,100 per day and each assistant referee will receive RMB 2,200 per day. 

What was emphasized by the CFA is that all salaries on the list are salaries before tax.
