China will begin its journey as the four-year event will be taking place and launching this Saturday. China doesn't take the field until Mar. 3 where they will face Japan in the first round or "Round Robin." They then take on Cuba in the second game and then wrap up the first round against Brazil on Tuesday, Mar. 5.

For China, they will try to put an early end to Japans' success in the event as they won it in 2005 and 2009.
