The opening mixed doubles rubber was extremely close, but China's Gao Ling and Zheng Bo recovered from dropping the opening game to beat Limpele Flandy and Vita Marisaa 19-21, 21-17, 21-19.
China then romped away with the next two rubbers to confirm their standing as the world's dominant badminton nation.
