On February 17, 2024, the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, the national table tennis coaching staff rotated three people and determined that Liang Jingkun, Chen Meng, and Chen Xingtong would play. In the men's team competition, Chinese Taipei won all the victories, Lin Yunru ushered in a good start, and Gao Chengrui blasted out the opponent with a score of 11-0, mercilessly refusing to let the opponent score.
Chinese Taipei defeated Nigeria 3-0 in the men's team group stage, and Aruna withdrew from the tournament due to food poisoning, resulting in three automatic defeats. The 19-year-old swept Omotayo 3-0, leading 10-0 in the first game and refused to concede to complete the clean sheet, which was also the second time that there was an 11-0 situation at this World Table Tennis Championships. Lin Yunru won comfortably 3-0 against Abioton, while Zhuang Zhiyuan did not participate, so it was considered a 3-0 victory over Aruna.
France won 3-0 against Algeria and Felix did not play. Considering that the opponent is weak, it is possible to rotate. Simon Goetz beat Geroli 3-0, Alex also beat Bloss 3-0 and Roland swept past Zajic 3-0. Although Simon Goetz lost points to Linde before, it can be seen that his on-the-spot performance is not consistent, so it is still the Lebrun brothers. Placing Simon Goates in the field for three singles is the most appropriate, and the odds of winning in other orders are even smaller.
The most intense game this time around was England 3-2 Kazakhstan, with Glasmenko regretting two points due to a disappointing performance from his team-mates. It's not uncommon for three opposing players to contribute 1 point each. Jinkhall lost 2-3 to Glasmenko, while Pitchford won 3-1 against Kenzygulov. In addition, Tom Jarvis won comfortably 3-0 against Galiyev, however then lost 2-3 to Glasmenko. In the end, Kinkhor reversed Kenzygulov 3-1.

Brazil beat South Africa 3-0, Bruna Takahashi swept past Kalam 3-0, Juliet Takahashi beat Patel 3-1 and Bruna Alexander beat Edwards 3-0.

In the other match, Romania beat Canada 3-0, Samara beat Liao Guihua 3-1, Szokos swept Xu Xiaorong 3-0 and Diaconu beat Natalie 3-0.
The national table tennis adopts a rotating lineup, Fan Zhendong rests, Liang Jingkun ushers in his debut, and Wang Chuqin and Ma Long remain unchanged. In the women's team competition, Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi watched the game, Wang Manyu was reused, and Chen Meng and Chen Xing played together. At present, the main player Lin Gaoyuan did not play in the first two match days, but there will definitely be a chance in the future, and the specific situation depends on the decision-making of the coaching staff, which has attracted much attention from the outside world.
