China claimed a three‑peat in Chengdu, dismantling Japan 8-1 to win the ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) Mixed Team World Cup for the third consecutive edition.

The final in the capital of Sichuan Province proved brief and one‑sided, as the pairing of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha set the tone with an 11-4, 11-4, 11-6 triumph in mixed doubles.

Wang Manyu followed by easing past Miwa Harimoto 11-6, 11-7, 11-6 in women's singles, and Lin Shidong's 6-11, 11-5, 11-6 comeback win over Tomokazu Harimoto in men's singles clinched the crown for the tournament hosts.
