"We learned from yesterday's game against Japan and made targeted adjustments, which was quite successful today, but there were still some ups and downs during the game, and hopefully we can do better tomorrow," said Li after the match.

China and Japan, ranked 6th and 7th in the world respectively, are vying for berths at the Paris Olympics, while Thailand dropped to 13th in the FIVB standings.

Earlier in the day, Japan beat the Dominican Republic 3-1 and Brazil downed Italy 3-2.

China next meet fifth-ranked Italy on Sunday to wrap up their VNL second-leg campaign in China's Macao Special Administrative Region.
