Technically, China could catch Belgium but in order to do that, China need to finish at least 7th in Milton and Belgium finish no better than 10th. It's not impossible for that to happen as the field in Milton for this event is one of the weaker ones with no Denmark, New Zealand, Australia or Germany (according to the provisional entry lists at least).
If the weaker field can benefit China, it could do the same for Belgium - these teams are pretty closely matched with the head to head tied at 2-2. I fully expect Belgium to finish higher than their current discard score of 10th - not exactly a bold prediction given there are only 11 nations competing! - so in order for China to get the last quota, I think they will need to finish at least 2 places higher than Belgium.
