Club career

Mao Jianqing started his professional football career in 2004 with Shanghai Shenhua after graduating from their youth team. He made his debut in a league game against Shenyang Ginde on June 13, 2006 in a 0-0 draw where he came on as a substitute.{{Cite web|url=http://sports.sohu.com/2004/06/13/35/news220513548.shtml|title=锋线乏力进球无门上海申花0-0无奈金德青年军|publisher=sports.sohu.com|date=2004-06-13|accessdate=2016-11-21}} In his first season for Shenhua he played in four league games; however, he did not score his first goal and establish himself for them until the 2006 season where he was a significant part of the team that came second in the Chinese Super League.{{Cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china06.html |title=China 2006 |date=8 Mar 2007 |accessdate=2012-08-07 |url-status=live |website=RSSSF |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120929192532/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/china06.html |archivedate=2012-09-29 }} The following seasons saw his speed, strength, confidence, strong shot and intelligent ball control make him one not only the club's first choice winger but also the national team.

In December 2008 Mao Jianqing was arrested for his involvement in a bloody restaurant brawl in the city where a local man was beaten and two women were hurt. The fight started in an apparent fit of jealousy over a woman and came hours after the Shenhua team suffered a disappointing tie that cost them the league title. After being held in custody for one week and making a public apology, Mao was allowed to return to Shenhua.{{Cite web|url=http://english.sina.com/sports/p/2008/1210/203769.html|title=Mao thrown lifeline as Shenhua in forgiving mood|publisher=english.sina.com|date=2008-12-10|accessdate=2012-08-07}} His public assault charge saw him dropped from the team, although he briefly regained his place within the team until the transfer window opened and he was loaned out to Shenzhen Asia Travel for the remainder of the season.

A permanent transfer to Shaanxi Baorong Chanba occurred on 12 February 2010. He was loaned out to Hangzhou Greentown and later transferred to Beijing Guoan in 2012. He was loaned to Shanghai Shenxin in July 2013.
