"It was amazing because it was my personal best and a new Asian record, so I'm very happy," the Asian champion said.

"I love you guys, I love this track. I just told myself to go fast. This gives me a lot of confidence for the World Championships."

It was the first time that the Chinese sprinter ran under 20 seconds, which helped him break the Asian mark of 19.97 set by Nigerian-born Femi Ogunode of Qatar in 2015.
