The hosts China could be satisfied with the second place after sweeping three-time defending champions Brazil 25-21, 25-21 and 25-13 in the last match of the tournament Sunday evening.
Following an opening loss to the Netherlands, the Chinese women reaped four wins in a row to take the silver medal with eight points.
While the Brazilians, who entered the finals as top favorites with the best results in the preliminaries, came in a disappointing fifth after dropping the last four of five matches, thanks to better points win-loss ratio over Poland.
FIVB World Grand Prix Finals debutants Poland finally pulled off a consolation win over Italy 25-21, 25-18 and 25-19, snapping their four-match losing streak.
"We won the first match at the tournament, we really wanted to win," said Poland captain Dorota Swieniewicz. "We had won six matches in a row in the preliminaries and that caused physical problems to us."
Katarzyna Skowronska-Dolata led Poland, who settled for the bottom on a 1-4 record, with 14 points and Swieniewicz added 11.
Italy and Russia were both on a 2-3 record while the Italians ranked third above the world champions with better points win-loss ratio.
