According to the schedule, China's next match will be against South Korea, and a win will lock them into first place in the group. If they fail to beat their opponents (assuming South Korea beat Bahrain), China will be ranked second in the group and will have to compete with the other second-placed teams to qualify. A total of 15 teams will qualify for this year's qualifying tournament, with the 10 group winners advancing directly and the five second-placed teams with the best results also advancing. Therefore, in order to secure the qualification, the Chinese team must go all out and beat the South Korean team, otherwise the qualification situation will be full of variables.
