 China  Qatar  India  Philippines  Jordan
 South Korea  Kuwait  Kazakhstan  Indonesia  Iran
 Japan  United Arab Emirates  Sri Lanka  Lebanon
 Bahrain *  Uzbekistan

*  Chinese Taipei, which finished fourth behind Korea, Japan and China in the East Asian qualifiers, was given a wild card entry into the championship following the withdrawal of Gulf representatives Bahrain.

Participating countries

Qualifying was done via the 2008 FIBA Asia Stanković Cup where the champion automatically qualified, and from different FIBA Asia sub-zones. As hosts, China automatically qualified to the championship. In West and Middle Asia, no actual qualifying tournament was done as only a few teams on those sub-zones registered to participate in a qualifying tournament.

With the withdrawal of Bahrain, FIBA Asia chose Chinese Taipei as the final participant to the 16-team field.

This is the first championship where Hong Kong would not participate; they were consistent participant since the

Sri Lanka
, making its first appearance since 1995.

This is also the third time in the 21st century in which the championships were held in the

2003
.

Draw

The draw was held on June 17 at Tianjin.[2]
