Cup of China didn't come out the way I expected at all. Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov beat Sui and Han to win the event. They had two throw quads, and pretty strong programs. Kavaguti and Smirnov have kept their freeskate from last year. They won by next to nothing, but still managed to beat out Sui and Han, which suggests they've got a chance of challenging Duhamel and Radford this season.
Wenjing Sui and Cong Han though, didn't do the second quad they can do. They did the quad twist but not the quad throw. Apparently she had an ankle injury, which is why they didn't do the throw quad they are more than capable of doing.
The rest of the pairs was okay, but not amazing, but it's Cup of China, and considering, the competition overall was pretty good.
