With both sides preparing for the East Asian Games, which will be held in Hong Kong in December, the series was important for them, particularly Guam in their quest to learn as much as they can to improve as a developing nation.
China, the Bowl winners at the first ever Women's Rugby World Cup Sevens competition earlier this year, inevitably proved too big, too fast and too strong as they overpowered Guam in all four matches.
The Asian champions raced into an early lead using their speed out wide to win the first match 42-0. Guam restricted China to only one score in the first half of the second match, but the hosts kicked on and triumphed 30-0.
This half-time score was repeated in match three as Guam pressured China into early mistakes, but this time the visitors held the hosts to a respectable 20-0 win. China then ran out 30-0 winners in the final match.
