On December 16, 2023, Beijing time, the 2023 BWF Year-end Finals ended all the semi-final competitions. China has 8 seats in the semifinals, and today it has won 5 of its 8 matches, including a derby in women's doubles, which is generally satisfactory. The mixed doubles won the championship ahead of schedule, and the women's doubles, men's doubles, and men's singles all had a pair that advanced to the final, and the women's singles was eliminated.
According to the latest BWF decision, in order to avoid "negative play" similar to the London Olympics in the final round of the group stage, the semi-final stage adopts a format in which the opponent is determined by drawing lots, and in the semi-final stage, the first place in each group will face the second place in the other group. However, the BWF eventually changed the rules to stipulate that the opponents in the knockout rounds of each group will be determined by a draw, and the draw will not be based on the same group avoidance system. The Chinese badminton team is generally okay, and there is only one civil war in women's doubles.
