China were in front ten minutes into the clash; midfielder, Zhang Rui beating Tochukwu Oluehi in goal for the African giants after she had parried a Gu Yasha's freekick.
China came knocking again at a fledging Nigeria defence just before the break and Oluehi showed quick reflexes to keep her team in the game.
The hosts scored their second moments later, Wang Shuang setting up Li Ying to produce another terrific finish.
There was still time for Li Ying to bag a brace, finishing brilliantly at the far post after she was picked out by Wu Chengshu, compounding a very disappointing afternoon for Nigeria.
