Lin Dan beat Malaysia's world number one Lee Chong Wei 21-19 8-21 21-16 to win the men's singles title at the Hong Kong Open for a second successive year on Saturday.
Lin and his girlfriend Xie Xinfang led the way as China walked off with four of the five titles on offer at the $250,000 five star tournament at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium. Second seed Xie won the women's singles title without even taking to the court after being awarded a walkover over top seed and compatriot Zhang Ning.
The women's doubles final was also an all-Chinese affair but top seeds and heavy favourites Gao Ling and Huang Sui were upset by Olympic champions Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen 21-19 15-21 21-19.
Zheng Bo and Zhao Tingting, who won their place in the final when Gao and Zhang Jun retired from their semi, made short work of Indonesians Nova Widianto and Liliyana Natsir in the mixed doubles final, grabbing a 22-20 21-19 win.
