The Chinese team beat Republic of Korea - who take silver - at the ExCeL 39-25.
Korea held them to 9-9 after four of the nine bouts, but Shin A Lam's loss to Xu Anqi started a big swing to the Chinese and they refused to let their opponents back.
The bronze medal contest, meanwhile, went into a minute's sudden death after the USA and Russia tied 30-30 and Courtney Hurley produced the winning hit with 44 seconds remaining to give the USA the medal.
