China and Kuwait both finished their friendly with just 10 men but it was the former who ran out 2-0 winners on Wednesday.
Jose Camacho’s side triumphed in Changsha thanks to strikes from Gao Lin and Yu Dabao, either side of half-time.
China had Zhao Xuri sent off while Kuwait’s Fahad Al Enezi was also given his marching orders.
The victory was China’s eighth in their last nine home matches, and they host Jordan in a World Cup qualifier on February 29.
