Maybe this is a dumb question... Zhu Ting isn't in this list. I assume this is just because she's still playing with Vakifbank. But is she on their roster for the Nations League? Or will she purely be resting this summer?

Or will she purely be resting this summer? I don't think that qualifies as a dumb question. She isn't on the list and won't take part in any training before the Nations League begins. Many here don't expect her to play, but it's possible that she could be added in time to play in the finals in Nanjing.

Yeah, since the finals are in Nanjing, China automatically qualifies for a place in the final already. So they don't need Zhu Ting to get them there. China might use the opportunity to test their new players in the preliminary rounds and save the "big guns" like Zhu for the finals.

Zhu will probably be on the roster for VNL, but will play a minor role and will be used sparingly. She is now the captain of the national team and needs to lead the team. China like other teams will be letting their new players use this as experience.
As for Zhang, she should take her time and recover. We probably won't be seeing her untill WCH, but if she does heal in time, she will join during the finals of VNL similar to how she joined the finals at last year's Grand Prix.
If Yang Fangxu is still not 100% healthy, she will most likely not take part in the competition. This would be a good time for China to test new opposites.

Updated Team China Wide Roster for Volleyball Nations League 2018.
Outside Hitter: Zhu Ting(C), Zhang Changning, Liu Xiaotong, Liu Yanhan, Duan Fang, Opposite: Yang Fangxu, Gong Xiangyu, Zeng Chunlei, Li Yingying
Middle Blocker: Yuan Xinyue, Gao Yi, Yang Hanyu, Wang Yuanyuan, Zheng Yixin, Yan Ni, Hu Mingyuan
Setter: Ding Xia, Yao Di, Diao Linyu, Sun Haiping,
Libero: Lin Li, Wang Mengjie, Meng Zixuan
Unknown: Zhang Yichan, Meng Dou, Ren Kaiyi
Things to note: -Lang Ping is back as head coach and An Jiajie is the assistant coach. Lai Yawen is not part of the coaching staff. -Li Yingying is listed as an opposite although she played as a non-receiving OH in Tianjin this season. She will also be wearing former captain Hui Rouqi's number who is now retired (No. 12). - Zhang Changning is on the list. - Libero Meng Zixuan from Tianjin made the list, but has not participated in any training yet. - Zhang Yichan(OH), Meng Dou(S), and Ren Kaiyi(OH) was listed as unknown as their position. - China has 7 middle blockers, the most out of any other position. I expect 2 or 3 will be released once the final 21 players roster are made. - Ren Kaiyi is the disciple of retired Chinese volleyball gold(Athens 2004) and bronze(Beijing 2008) medalist Yang Hao.

An Jiajie is not cutting it as head coach, as far as China is concerned. Maybe a bit unfair, since he did coached China to victory at the World Grand Champions Cup, although Lang was also there at the tournament to give "advice" to the team. As for Li Yingying, I am looking forward to see how she performs in the Nations League.

China Roster for Week 1 Pool 2 VNL: (China, Belgium, Dominican Republic, South Korea) OH: Liu Xiaotong, Liu Yanhan, Li Yingying(listed as Opp), Zhang Yichan OPP: Yang Fangxu, Gong Xiangyu, MB: Yuan Xinyue, Gao Yi, Wang Yuanyuan, Hu Mingyuan S: Ding Xia, Yao Di L: Lin Li, Meng Zixuan Not Playing: Zhu Ting(C), Duan Fang, Zeng Chunlei, Yan Ni, Diao Linyu, and Wang Mengjie. Starting lineup guess based on recent training pictures: OH: Liu Xiaotong, Li Yingying OPP: Gong Xiangyu MB: Yuan Xinyue, Gao Yi or Wang Yuanyuan S: Yao Di L: Lin Li Zeng Chunlei had to return back to Beijing for an emergency that may be family related. Although Yang Hanyu is listed on the wide roster, she most likely won't be participating in this competition. It is reported that she was injured during training and returned back to her club(Shandong) for treatment. Her name was added to fill the roster quota. Diao Linyu will take part in the VTV CUP with her club(Jiangsu) that ends on May 20 around Week 2 of VNL. All three missed the retake photo session. Zhu Ting as expected, will be resting since having returned from Turkey last week. She as well as retired national team members Xu Yunli and Ma Yunwen recently took part in a community event teaching kids about volleyball. Zhang Changing is not on the roster, but has posted pictures of her rehabilitation process as she is currently recovering from surgery. 18 year old star Li Yingying (Tianjin) highlights, 45 points vs Shanghai in December beating Zhu Tings previous record.

Week 1 Pool 2: China vs Dominican Republic (3:0 - 25-17, 25-15, 25-11) China defeats an inexperienced Dominican Republic team 3 to 0. Liu Xiaotong who is acting as captain of the team for the first week scored 10 points. The new Chinese star Li Yingying born in 2000 was the best scorer of the match receiving 17 points followed by Yuan Xinyue with 13 points. On the Dominican side, Brayelin Martinez scored the most with 12 points. Yang Fangxu also returned and shown she is still capable of being a great player, it looks as if the injury to her leg has been healing effectively. Li Yingying seems to be intergrating with the national team well despite some errors and miscommunication. Her back row defense and reception is noticeably her weakest area. Other members are treating her like a little sister and encourages her to be positive throughout the process. We sha'll see in the coming weeks how she plays against the worlds top teams. Next match is against Belgium followed by South Korea. Starting Lineup: OH: Liu Xiaotong, Li Yingying OPP: Yang Fangxu MB: Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan S: Ding Xia L: Lin Li Substitute: Gong Xiangyu(OPP), Gao Yi(MB), Yao Di(S), Meng Zixuan(L) Did Not Play: Liu Yanhan(OH), Zhang Yichan(OH), Hu Mingyuan(MB) Full Game Highlights: Quality isn't as good as it is a recording off of a PC, but it's better than nothing.
