Did Zheng Yixin change position?
I read the posts in Weibo but don't understand much..
Zheng Yi-xin played as an OP in the group stage of 2016 AVC Cup and Set 3 of 3rd Final of Montreux 2017.
She didn't play well.
In theory, unless absolutely necessary, Zheng Yi-xin won't be the OP.
Although the player list of Week 1 of VNL 2019 in Brazil has been given, it may be changed.

May 13 - May 18 - 2019 Montreux Volley Masters
May 22 - May 24 - [Team A] Week 1 of VNL 2019
PS: This is just a rumor.
I wonder why the sudden change. Back in February they said they were going to send a U23 roster to Montreux, but now they want to send the A Team.
Is the tournament in Cavalese, Italy just friendly matches between China and Italy or will there be other national teams?

The official team roster of Montreux 2019:
S - 3. Diao Lin-yu, 11. Yao Di, 13. Sun Yan, 16. Ding Xia, 24. Sun Hai-ping
OP - 6. Gong Xiang-yu, 8. Zeng Chun-lei, 23. Du Qing-qing
OH - 2. Zhu Ting (C), 9. Zhang Chang-ning, 10. Liu Xiao-tong, 12. Li Ying-ying, 19. Liu Yan-han, 20. Duan Fang, 22. Wu Han, 25. Zhang Yi-chan

L - 15. Lin Li, 18. Wang Meng-jie, 21. Ni Fei-fan
Cant wait to watch them if this happen to be true!
....
Is Sun Hai-ping , by any chance, related to coach Lang Ping ?
Those Montreux rosters aren't actually linked to from the home page as far as I can tell. I think they are just improvising for now. The Japan roster has Miyu Nagaoka listed. She's injured and not on the wide roster. So, grain of salt and all.

In Chinese the family name is first.

I feel it is the match between China and Italy. Perhaps will there be other teams such as the junior teams of Italian clubs? Please wait for it.
Team B has arrived in Italy on May 2.
In theory, according to the 30-player wide roster of Chinese women's NT:
S - 3. Diao Lin-yu, 11. Yao Di, 13. Sun Yan, 16. Ding Xia, 24. Sun Hai-ping
OP - 6. Gong Xiang-yu, 8. Zeng Chun-lei, 23. Du Qing-qing
OH - 2. Zhu Ting (C), 9. Zhang Chang-ning, 10. Liu Xiao-tong, 12. Li Ying-ying, 19. Liu Yan-han, 20. Duan Fang, 22. Wu Han, 25. Zhang Yi-chan, 26. Jin Ye, 29. Che Wen-han, 30. Wang Yi-zhu
MB - 1. Yuan Xin-yue, 4. Yang Han-yu, 5. Hu Ming-yuan, 7. Wang Yuan-yuan, 14. Zheng Yi-xin, 17. Yan Ni, 27. Gao Yi
L - 15. Lin Li, 18. Wang Meng-jie, 21. Ni Fei-fan, 28. Wang Wei-yi
I doubt whether the shirt name of Jin Ye will become "Jin Y.X." [Jin Yi-xuan]. 
Wang Yi-zhu is the only new one. (Che Wen-han is the member of the winner of 2018 AVC Cup). In Tianjin VC, as the substitute OH of Li Ying-ying, Wang Yi-zhu (right-handed) is much weaker than Li and Wang Yi-zhu was an OP [who focuses on spike] earliest.

I just say about this Team U20 plus three U23 players, Gao Yi, Guo Hui-zhen and Cai Ya-qian:
As the main setter of the winner of 2017 U20 WCH, Cai Ya-qian's advantages and disadvantages are both obvious. Sun Yan may play the second match.
As an OP playing the first match, Mao Jun-yi didn't play well. Although Sun Xiao-xuan wasn't one of the best OPs, she focused on the site and her right-winged spike helped more than Mao in this match.
About three OHs, two OH1s, Xu Lu-yao without good jump and Miao without good spike were not good. Che Wen-han was much better though she was too tired due to the bad reception and pass.
Gao Yi played in Team A in 2017 and in 2018. She finished her task though she should do it better. So did Guo Hui-zhen.
Ni Fei-fan has been called by Team A this year. The spike serve of Sorokaite gave her very large pressure. She wasn't the best and she wasn't the worst, either. I hope Shi Hai-rong also give Chen Rui-lan the chance in the second match tomorrow.
Will it be same team in Montreux for China?
There are currently 10 players training in Beijing with An Jiajie who I think are going to Montreaux.
OH: Liu Yanhan (also OP), Li Yingying, Duan Fang
OP: Du Qingqing
MB: Hu Mingyuan, Yang Hanyu, Wang Yuanyuan, Zheng Yixin (OP?)
S: Diao Linyu
L: Lin Li
Maybe the 4 remaining spots will be filled with by some of the U23 team, Che Wenhan, Mao Junyi, Xu Luyao, Cai Yaqian, Sun Yan, Ni Feifan? We will wait and see.

Anyone know who is the coach for this U23 playing in Italy?

Seems like Shi Hai Rong

Don't use "seem like". I have said that Shi Hai-rong is the head coach of U20 NT for many times.
