India had a fantastic start, with Lakshya Sen beating Shi Yuqi, before the men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty got the better of Weikeng Liang and Chang Wang.
However, the team of the host nation then clawed their way back into the tie, with Li Shifeng beating Kidambi Srikanth. In the second men's doubles match of the tie, Ou Xuanyi and Liu Yuchen had a comfortable win over Dhruv Kapila and Sai Pratheek.
In the deciding game, Weng Hongyang defeated Mithun Manjunath 2-0 to secure a gold medal for China.
This is India's best-ever finish in men's team contest, and the first medal in this category since the class of 1986's bronze triumph.
