(CCTV 07-06-2008 13:11)--The Macao stage of the FIVB World Grand Prix continued on Saturday. And that's when China's women's team snatched their eighth consecutive victory by thrashing Dominica in straight sets.

Despite already qualifying for next weeks' final, China sent all their main players. Dominica continued their momentum from beating Brazil in their previous match, and piled the pressure on the Chinese side with powerful services. Veteran Zhou Suhong stepped up at a key moment, helping China take the first set 25-16. Dominica tried hard to bounce back in the next two sets, forcing an intense game. But powerhouses China held on, and built up their dominance little by little. 25-22, 25-21, and China claimed their eighth straight victory. They'll face their strongest opponents Brazil on Sunday.

Earlier in the day, arch rivals Brazil hammered Japan in straight sets. The Brazilians dominated the game right from the beginning and never gave the Japanese side any chances.
