With a special kick-off time to give Chinese fans some teatime viewing, PSG staged a neat 'remontada' worthy of applause.
Allan Saint-Maximin was too hot for Yuri Berchiche to handle when he blitzed past the PSG fullback and slotted in to give the home side a surprise early lead.
A spectator to the opener, Angel Di Maria thought 'anything you can do, I can do better.' The equaliser was swift and well-executed. Popping the ball through the defender's legs, the Argentine bolted past Dante and prodded home for 1-1.
With Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe failing to convert chances and Mario Balotelli flirting with the idea of scoring, Dani Alves elected himself the understudy of the absent Neymar and chanelled his compatriot for the winner.
Not known for his heading ability, the 5ft6 full-back rose highest to meet Adrien Rabiot's cross, guiding the ball beyond the diving Walter Benitez between the sticks.
PSG now sit on a plush cushion of 17 points at the top of Ligue 1 - a league that has regained to it's uncompetitive reputation after Monaco's triumph last season.
