Going into the tournament, they relied heavily on the development of players on the Vanke Rays team and were seen as having a real chance at making the quarterfinals.

Only two months after the Winter Olympics, they played in the 2022 IIHF Women's World Championship Division IB in Katowice, Poland.

They ended up dominating the competition, scoring 38 goals in the group to secure promotion to the 2023 IIHF Women's World Championship Division IA.

Nine months later, they would end up winning the Division IA tournament and be promoted to the 2024 IIHF Women's World Championship after defeating Austria 2–0 in Shenzhen.
