The Malaysian world No 7 pair took 59 minutes to dispose of the unranked scratch Chinese pair.
This is the Malaysian pair’s first title in a BWF World Tour Super 500 series this year.
They were runners-up in the Thailand Masters in February and Swiss Open in March. Last year, Tang Jie-Ee Wei won the Orleans Masters and Taipei Open.
In the first game, Tang Jie-Ee Wei matched the Chinese pair point for point early on but lost ground and ended up five points behind at the break.
However, despite Xin Wa-Li Qian’s dominance in taking a seven-point lead after the restart, the Malaysians were able to close the gap to just three points before losing the game 21-17 in 20 minutes.
In the second game, Tang Jie-Ee Wei took an early lead and were able to hold their ground to lead 11-6 at the break. Following the restart, they extended their lead and had a 10-game point cushion before winning the match 21-13 in 16 minutes.
In the rubber game, Tang Jie-Ee Wei took a 3-0 lead and despite an initial comeback by the Chinese, they held on to lead 11-6 going into the break.
The Chinese continued to narrow the score to 13-15 after the restart, but the Malaysians took every point from then on to win the game 21-13 in 23 minutes for their first title of the year.
