Belgium's remaining games are against South Africa and Bulgaria so congratulations to Belgium for promotion to Div IIB. China will return to Div III because if they win Serbia on regulation, Iceland and Australia will play eachother so there's no chance for 3-way tie. China have lost to both Australia and Iceland and in 2-way tie the mutual game's winner will decide the order.
