Qualification
2015 FIBA Asia Championship qualification
According to the FIBA Asia rules, the host nation China and 2014 FIBA Asia Cup champions Iran automatically qualified. East Asia, West Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Gulf each had two berths while Central Asia and South Asia each had one slot allotted. The other four berths were allocated to the zones according to performance in the 2014 FIBA Asia Cup. Therefore, with Chinese Taipei, Philippines, Jordan, and Japan finishing in the top four in that tournament other than Iran and China which were both direct qualifiers, East Asia gained another two berths while the Southeast Asia and West Asia gained an additional slot each.

Controversies
Rescheduling of Semifinals
There was suspicion and outrage when the organizers decided to move the schedule of the semifinals game between Philippines and Japan from its original schedule of 9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Many fans believe that this move was a way for the Chinese to procure undue advantage come the gold medal match.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jan-albert-suing/philippines-vs-china-rip-_b_8238564.html Philippines vs. China: RIP Basketball HuffPost 7 October 2015http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/gilas-coach-tab-baldwin-not-fazed-by-fake-chinese-fans-home-court-advantage-let-them-play-in-front-real-philippine-fans Gilas coach Tab Baldwin not fazed by 'fake' Chinese fans, home court advantage: 'Let them play in front of real Philippine fans' InterAksyon.com Sports5 2016-09-26 https://web.archive.org/web/20160724061254/http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/gilas-coach-tab-baldwin-not-fazed-by-fake-chinese-fans-home-court-advantage-let-them-play-in-front-real-philippine-fans 2016-07-24 dead
Finals Pregame
A few hours before the championship match, Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas President Manuel V. Pangilinan accused the host country of pulling off shenanigans. He twittered that the delay of the tournament electric bus to bring the Philippine squad to the game venue as it was not charged would give them less time to warm up. http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/home-cooking-mvp-lashes-out-at-fiba-asia-organizers-as-gilas-encounters-troubles-ahead-of-clash-vs-host-china HOME COOKING?

Officiating
The officiating of the referees were also held in question by fans and various teams playing against China, especially the games with Jordan, South Korea, Iran and the Philippines. http://sports.inquirer.net/195206/gilas-needs-all-luck-it-can-get-in-fiba-asia-final-vs-china-says-irans-bahrami Gilas needs all luck it can get in Fiba Asia final vs China, says Iran's Bahrami 2015-10-03 2015-10-08 Inquirer Sports Castillo Musong http://www.spin.ph/basketball/fiba/news/gilas-players-coaches-fans-left-to-rue-officiating-in-fiba-asia-final-against-china Gilas players, coaches, fans left to rue officiating in Fiba Asia final against China 2015-10-03 2015-10-08 Spin Ramos Gerry
Behavioural issues
There was wide criticism of the rude behavior of the Chinese fans were shouting threats towards visiting teams, doing the dirty finger and throwing bottles and paper at the opposing team benches. There were incidents in which foreign fans in the venue were heckled and insulted by Chinese fans while the Chinese Police just stood by. https://www.rappler.com/sports/gilas-pilipinas/107987-philippines-china-recap-fiba-asia-finals-2015/ Gilas falls to China, settles for FIBA Asia silver 2015-10-03 2015-10-11 Rappler Bracher Jane One particular moment was when Calvin Abueva irritated Chinese supporters after he accidentally bumped Guo Ailun with his shoulder while returning to the bench following his fifth and final personal foul.
