Team China secured all five titles on offer at the ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals on Saturday.
Chinese paddlers took both the men's and women's doubles titles in straight games against South Korean duos, with Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin beating Jang Woo-jin and Lim Jong-hoon, and Chen Meng and Wang Yidi outclassing Jeon Ji-hee and Shin Yu-bin.
Meanwhile, Team China set up two all-Chinese singles finals, with Ma Long facing Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng facing Sun Yingsha.
Earlier on Friday, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin took the mixed doubles title.
In the men's doubles final, Fan and Wang overcame a 6-9 deficit with four points in a row before taking the first game 13-11. They later stormed to a 3-0 victory after clinching the second and third games 11-6 and 11-5, respectively.
In the women's doubles, Chen and Wang extended China's winning streak in this event to 18.
"We were well-prepared for the difficulties. It wasn't plain sailing, but we are happy to come through," said Olympic champion Chen Meng.
