At first I thought so, complained why the coach did not field Gong Xiangyu...but later on I just realized that ALL the EIGHT participating teams would proceed into the knockout QFs, regardless the outcomes of the pool matches, for instance the young KOR team holds the current tournament record for losing 0-3 three times in pool matches, yet they still played in the QF, also with 0-3 lost to THA, eventually becoming the only team not winning even a single set.
The POOL Standings (sorted by pool match results):
Pool A: THA, VIE, TPE, IRI
Pool B: JPN, CHN, KAZ, KOR
The QF played with following pairings: 1A vs 4B; 1B vs 4A; 2A vs 3B, and 3A vs 2B
... then I noted that the pool matches were not that important.. team could still use some matches for various testing purposes or simply kept the true strength under veil... only the KO stages do really matter!
The semifinals will play: CHN vs THA and JPN vs KAZ on 19/SEP

I think I can agree with you that CHN's designated coach for the 2016 AVC, Chen You-quan, is not so good, fortunately there's still the usual face assisting in the second liner, Bao Zhuang.In the SF the THA's regular/core NT was able to match the CHN's mixed team very well, at some point in G4 I even thought they would earn that match.
AND without the inclusion of both Zhang Chang-ning and Gong Xiang-yu, the team would have not survived the SF, thus Chen was quite right that he needed both of them in the 2016 AVC.

2016 Asian Women's Cup Volleyball Championship (Wiki)
It came out that the Chinese coach, Chen You-quan, had his acumen indeed. Unlike in the semifinals against Thailand, in the final against Kazakhstan he fielded the best line-up he had from the outset: Zhang Changning (OPP also OH), Gong Xiangyu (OPP also OH), Yao Di (S), Wang Mengjie (L), Li Jing (OH), Yang Zhou (MB), and Zheng Yixin (MB). Practically the team only played these seven players in the entire match, couldn't recall seeing any other faces, the rest were just benched, and Kazakhstan team just couldn't match the Chinese pulsating dynamics. It's quite an easy final for the champ. KAZ was rather fortunate to play in the final; THA indeed deserved more to be there.
QuoteYoung Gong Xiaoyu, 19, scored a match-high 21 points including 16 kills from 36 attempts for China. Zhang Changning added with 10 kill blocks. Yao Di contributed with 3 ace serves. Katerina Tatko led Kazakhstan with 6 points, all of them from her devastating spikes.
