Two-time 200m world champion Shericka Jackson produced a dominant display to win the 200m Diamond League event in Xiamen.
Jackson smashed the meeting record and narrowly missed out on the world lead by 0.01 seconds, finishing with a time of 21.87 seconds to claim the victory.
The Jamaican led from the off and showed her strength on the bend to pull away.
Shaunae Miller-Uibo (22.04) and Anavia Battle (22.29) both produced season's bests to claim second and third respectively but neither looked like troubling Jackson.
The 2023 world 100m champion, Sha'Carri Richardson, also produced a season's best, crossing the line in fourth with a time of 22.38 seconds.
