Nel 1972 inizia per Boriçi un altro importante capitolo della sua carriera da allenatore. Dati i buonissimi rapporti diplomatici tra Cina e Albania, si trasferisce proprio nella "Perla d'Oriente" dove diventerà anche allenatore della Nazionale. In molti sostengono che grazie alla sua conoscenza e preparazione tattica, l'ABC del calcio cinese sia proprio un frutto del suo lavoro. Coloro che lavoravano al suo fianco rimanevano impressionati dalla dedizione e dal tempo dedicato a perfezionare ogni dettaglio dentro e fuori dal campo
