Any news on players list from countries other than Indonesia and Malaysia ? The confirmed players should be in because the deadline was 24 Jan. I think China can afford to rest the exhausted Lin Dan and CY/FHF and still seeded no 1 and qualify. Meanwhile for the women team, without Korea, China can even afford to rest Wang Yihan and Wang Xin and perhaps Wang XL/YY But will they ?
China doesn't register their A list players for TUC Qualifying Round next February as Lin Dan, Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng, Wang Xiaoli/Yu Yang, The Wangs Trio (Yihan-Xin-Shixian) will be absent in Macau. CHINA squad : Thomas Cup => Chen Long, Chen Jin, Du Pengyu, Wang Zhengming, Guo Zhendong, Chai Biao, Liu Xiaolong, Qiu Zihan, Zhang Nan, Li Gen. Uber Cup => Jiang Yanjiao, Li Xuerui, Liu Xin, Wang Lin, Tian Qing, Zhao Yunlei, Cheng Shu, Pan Pan, Bao Yixin, Zhong Qianxin.

Li Gen... again? Talk about a free ride. Pan Pan... again? Talk about a free ride. On a brighter note, Wang Lin returns and Bao Yixin is selected. Hooray!
