The Chinese, once champion in 2004 Athens Games and bronze medal winner in Beijing Games, lost the match 24-26, 16-25, 29-31.
With a third win, the Americans booked a berth1 of the quarterfinals in advance. Destinee Hooker and Megan Hodge were both on top form for USA, who gave China major problems.
