Host country Serbia were quickly out of the gates and collected a lot of points in the beginning, staying in the lead for quite some time, before Germany and Poland battled it out for the lead. The jury vote ended with Poland on top followed by South Korea and China. However, just like last time, the televote shook things up. China received most points from the televoters ahead of Norway and Germany, and as the juries' favourite, Poland, only finished 16th in the televote, China jumped to the front of the line, securing their first gold medal with a comfortable margin. Germany took home the silver medal and Norway won the bronze, while Poland and Portugal rounded out the top 5.

China debuted in GM10, but after 6 participations their best result were 15th, and the most populous country in the world decided to quit. They did not return until GM60 and did not reach the top 10 until GM75 on their 12th attempt. China quickly lost interest in the contest again, but returned a few times for a few participations at a time, never experiencing much success. Then in GM131 the current HoD, Alexander, took over and became the 7th HoD for the Chinese. Under his reign, China's results have improved dramatically. Within his first 8 participations, China reached the top 10 twice, and in GM149 they finally took home their first medal, when Jike Junyi won the bronze. In 63 participations, China has now qualified for 34 finals, reaching the top 10 twelve times and winning two medals including this gold medal. Well done China, Benjamin Kheng and Alexander!
