She represented China at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, in the women's +67 kg,[2] and won the gold medal, which China has not won since 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens.

In May 2019 at the 2019 World Taekwondo Championships, Zheng lost the final against Bianca Walkden for the women's heavyweight title. Zheng was disqualified despite leading 20-10 because Walkden repeatedly forced Zheng out of the ring to accumulate Zheng's penalty points.[3]

In September 2019 at Chiba, four months after winning the controversial goal medal in Manchester, Walkden was defeated 7-5 by Zheng Shuyin.[4] In October 2019 at Sofia, Zheng Shuyin defeated Walkden once again by 3-2.[5]
