"I think because of our firm belief and the aura we exuded, our opponents were a little bit scared, and they obviously missed the last two reserves, which I think is probably not a coincidence," Zheng told Xinhua.
Shi Yuqi made it 2-0 by thrashing Lee Yun-gyu 21-13, 21-17 in the men's singles. "We are very united and we also have a good mentality on key points. So I think these are the strengths of the Chinese team," Shi added after the crucial tie.
China, the most successful team in tournament history, finally got revenge as they were stunned 3-2 by South Korea in the final six years ago.
The biennial tournament, hosted in Suzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province, attracted wide attention because the result will affect qualification for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
