That doesn't work in this case. The higher ranked Chinese team could still end up throwing their match in the scenario where the lower ranked Chinese team is playing a weak team in the last match of their group in which a win qualifies the lower ranked Chinese team in the lowest possible qualifying spot. You still end up with a match being thrown.
Some sort of randomization of the final knockout fixtures instead of straight crossover between groups would be ideal if you want a group format.
