China is far ahead now with 55 gold, 40 silver and 21 bronze medals, followed by Japan with 25 golds and South Korea with 16 golds.
China's gold rush on Thursday started in the morning session when its rowers and wushu athletes won five and four golds respectively.
In the men's rowing, Zhang Liang registered a time of 7 minutes 25.36 seconds to win the men's single sculls.
He brushed aside Kim Dong-yang from South Korea and Japanese rower Ryuta Arakawa, who ended up with silver and bronze medals respectively.

In the women's part, Chinese rower Chen Yunxia won a gold medal in single sculls after clocking 8:08.21.
China also won women's double sculls and women's pair titles.
In wushu, Chinese athletes bagged four out of six golds on offer, all coming from sanda events. In the men's division, Shen Guoshun won the 56kg title and Li Mengfan claimed the 65kg title, while in the women's division, Li Yueyao and Cai Yingying won 52kg and 60kg titles respectively.

China's world champion Xu Jiayu tasted sweet victory as a backstroke specialist as he won his third gold by taking the 200m title with a personal best of 1:53.99, which could place him No. 3 in the world of the year.
"My plan was to swim as fast as I could in the first 100m and set my own pace. I've been competing from the first day until now, the fifth day, I felt tired but I realized my dream step by step. My goal was to try to win five gold medals. I believe that I can fight until the last event, the men's medley relay tomorrow," said the 23-year-old Xu.
The 16-year-old Wang Jianjiahe from China, winner of 1,500m, led all the way through women's 800m freestyle and touched the wall first in a Games record of 8:18.55.
