China has won seven gold medals in men's singles, eight in women's singles, seven in women's doubles, one in men's doubles and four in mixed doubles besides six gold in team competitions for a total of 43 medals. 

They will be hoping for a vast improvement in their performance from the Jakarta Asian Games in 2018 when they won only two gold medals in individual competitions as Indonesia's Jonatan Christie and Chinese Taipei's Tai Tzu-Ying won the men's and women's singles respectively. China won the men's team competition while Japan took the women's team gold. 

"We made the final decision based on relevant rules, the BWF world rankings, the physical and mental qualities of the athletes as well as their performance in competitions and training," read a CBA statement on Wednesday.

Following is the list of the Chinese badminton team for the Hangzhou Asian Games:

Men's singles: Shi Yuqi, Li Shifeng

Men's doubles: Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi
