But, Indonesia defeated by China, also by 0–3 in the final, to ensure the China's eighth title in the Thomas Cup, while Korea won the Uber Cup after defeat China with 3–1 score.

Badminton World Federation initially intended to split the Thomas and Uber Cup finals as separate tournaments. Malaysia was the only bidder for Thomas Cup finals, while China and South Korea were interested to host the Uber Cup finals.^[1] The plan to split the tournaments was eventually abandoned and Malaysia was asked to hold the Uber Cup final together.^[2]
