Asian Games women's doubles gold medalists Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan trailed throughout the match before losing to Naoko Fukuman/Kurumi Yonao of Japan 21-18, 21-15.
"We didn't play well technically and tactically, and our opponents showed their resilience in the match," said Jia, whose smashing quality was somewhat hampered by wrist concern.
Li Wenmei and Zheng Yu made a bit redemption for China by edging Chloe Birch and Lauren Smith of England 23-21, 24-22.
Despite a 21-19 first game win over Japanese Takuro Hoki and Wakana Nagahara, the fifth-seeded Chinese mixed pair of Zhang Nan and Li Yinhui conceded the following two games 21-19, 21-14.
He Jiting and Du Yue were forced to retire at 1-1 in the decider against German pair of Marvin Emil Seidel and Linda Efler as Du could not hold on due to her foot injury sustained last week in Denmark.
Lu Kai/Chen Lu fell in front of Dechapol Puavaranukroh/Sapsiree Taerattanachai of Thailand 21-16, 21-15.
Wang Yilyu and Huang Dongping were the only Chinese pair through the mixed doubles first round, as No. 2 seeds breezed past Danes Niclas Nohr and Sara Thygesen 21-11, 21-8 in just 27 minutes.
BWF French Open, the penultimate of five Super 750-level tournaments of the season, will see winners of five events on Sunday.
