The Zhujiang (or Pearl River) team - known as the Power - ran out for its first two games and prevailed by nine points over the Guangzhou Scorpions in the final game of the opening round, an impressive result after dropping the first game to the league leading Guangzhou Sports University Seagulls earlier in the day.
Other groups competing in the five-team league include the Huizhou Hawks and Dongguan Giants.
Port Adelaide was the primary sponsor for the Chinese National team in the recent IC14 competition played between national teams from around the world in Melbourne.
The team also marched in force at the Power's Round 20 game against Sydney at the Adelaide Oval.
Port Adelaide recently established a formal partnership with the Hong Kong Australia Business Association (HKABA) and recently won a special commendation at the HKABA awards night for the its contribution to arts, culture and tourism.
The club's involvement with the Chinese community stretches back a long way too, as evidenced in this picture doing the rounds on social media.
