In the men’s Thomas Cup, the defending champion Chinese team have been drawn against India, the Netherlands and Tahiti in group C.
Meanwhile, the Chinese women will face Malaysia, Denmark and Canada in group D of the Uber Cup while holders Japan have been drawn with Indonesia, Germany and France in group A.
