China's table tennis squad delivered a masterclass performance on December 4, 2025, defeating the Republic of Korea (ROK) 8-0 at the ITTF Mixed Team World Cup in Chengdu. This marks their fifth consecutive victory in the tournament, maintaining their flawless record since the opening matches.
The home team's dominance began with Lin Shidong and Kuai Man's decisive 3-0 mixed doubles win against Park Gang-hyeon and Kim Na-yeong. Wang Manyu then extended China's lead with a clinical women's singles performance, before world No. 1 Wang Chuqin sealed the victory in men's singles.
Since their tournament debut, the Chinese team has only surrendered one match point during their initial clash with the Hong Kong SAR team. Subsequent 8-0 victories against Egypt, Chile, and Croatia demonstrate the squad's growing momentum as they prepare for Thursday afternoon's crucial match against France.
With both mixed doubles pairings showing peak form and all six singles players utilizing matches for strategic preparation, China appears increasingly formidable ahead of the tournament's decisive stages.
