Earlier in the match, a raucous crowd gave the Chinese players full support as they faced a formidable Pakistan. The game started slow with both teams struggling to find space in each other's defence. However, China kept control of the ball and made more attacks than Pakistan.
SAARI Faizal of Malaysia scored two goals for his side, while SAARI Fitri added another, and ANUAR Akhimullah opened the scoring in the first quarter.
The home side made an ideal start at Elland Road, going in front when Manor Solomon hammered home just three minutes in after Owls goalkeeper James Beadle failed to intercept a raking pass from Brenden Aaronson.
Wednesday threatened at times, going closest to an equaliser with a 20-yard attempt from Djeidi Gassama, which goalkeeper Ivan Meslier had to push around the post.
The match was settled two minutes from time as substitute Largie Ramzani finished from close range after his initial shot was blocked.
And the hosts added further gloss to the scoreline in stoppage time, when Ramzani's shot was flicked in by Ao Tanka.
Leeds, who remain unbeaten at Elland Road since September, sit one point above second-place Sheffield United, whose city rivals Wednesday stay 10th and four points adrift of the top six.
