Seven Evergrande players have been included in China's squad for the tournament in Australia, including captain Zheng Zhi, goalkeeper Zeng Cheng and striker Gao Lin.
China limped to qualification for the continental championships, drawing at home against Saudi Arabia in their penultimate match before losing 3-1 at Iraq.
Coach Alain Perrin, who took over in February, has put a lot of faith in Evergrande's CSL champions, who wrapped up their fourth straight title last month ahead of Beijing Guoan and local rivals Guangzhou R&F.
Mei Fang, Zhang Linpeng, Yu Hanchao and Liao Lisheng are the other Evergrande players included in Perrin's squad, while Jiangsu Sainty is the club with the next largest contingent with six.
Defenders: Zhang Linpeng (Guangzhou Evergrande), Ren Hang (Jiangsu Sainty), Mei Fang (Guangzhou Evergrande), Ji Xiang (Jiangsu Sainty), Li Ang (Jiangsu Sainty), Wu Xi (Jiangsu Sainty), Liu Jianye (Jiangsu Sainty)
Forwards: Zhang Chengdong (Beijing Guoan), Gao Lin (Guangzhou Evergrande), Yang Xu (Shandong Luneng)
