Strengths
China's scoring power is on uneven bars and balance beam. Qiu Qiyuan won the world bars title in 2023 and Olympic bars silver in Paris. Zhang Qingying won the world beam title in Jakarta in 2025 by 0.866, and took all-around bronze there. Few teams can match those two apparatus.
The question, as often for China, is vault and floor. That is where the United States, Brazil and Italy usually build their margins.
