Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, respectively world number one and two, and Liang Jingkun showed no charity in opposition to Jang Woojin, Jeoung Youngsik and Lee Sangsu at the Among Rogo Stadium in Yogyakarta.

It was no less than the 22nd time China's men have won this event since it was organised under the auspices of the Asian Table Tennis Union in 1972.

China has lost only twice – in the inaugural year, when Japan won, and in 1996 when the title went to South Korea.

This victory was their 11th in a row.

At the semi-final stage, China had accounted for Japan 3-0, with Xu Xin eventually overcoming Tomokazu Harimoto in four games, 5-11, 11-7, 11-8, 12-10.

Fan and Laing followed up with wins against Maharu Yoshimura and Kazuhiro Yoshimura, respectively.

South Korea had to work harder to reach the final against the third-seeded Chinese Taipei trio of Liao Cheng-Ting, Chen Chien-An and Wang Tai-Wei, but also finished with a 3-0 margin.

Jeoung Youngsik beat Liao Chen-Ting in a monumental struggle, 7-11, 11-8, 9-11, 11-7, 12-10.

Jang Woojin then overcame Chen Chien-An 11-9, 11-9, 11-9, and Lee accounted for Wang Tai-Wei 11-6, 12-10, 11-9.

In the final, Xu Xin set matters in motion by beating Jang 11-3, 11-7, 11-9, before Fan accounted for Jeoung 11-8, 11-9, 11-7. 

Liang brought matters to a conclusion by overcoming Lee 11-8, 11-7, 11-5.
