China's participation in the Olympic games is relatively recent. Largely due to the Cultural Revolution and the International Olympic Committee’s recognition of the Republic of China, The People's Republic of China did not participate in the Olympics for over 20 years; recognition of the Chinese Olympic Committee—or CHN—did not happen until 1979. The People's Republic of China sent its first full athletic delegation to the Summer Olympic Games in the 1984 Summer Olympics which was held in Los Angeles, United States.[1][2]

As of 2024, China has finished at 1st place in the Summer Olympics once, at 2nd place four times, and 3rd place twice. It has won a total of 325 gold medals, 258 silver medals and 221 bronze medals over the course of 12 Olympic games.

With the nation's 12th appearance at the Summer and 12th appearance at the Winter Olympics, China is the most successful country overall in the Asia–Oceania region, making them the 3rd most successful country in Olympic history, after the United States and the Soviet Union.

Participation

Originally having participated in Olympics as the delegation of the Republic of China (ROC) from 1924 to 1948, China competed at the Olympic Games under the name of the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the first time at the 1952 Summer Olympics held in Helsinki, Finland, although they only arrived in time during the last days to participate in one event.[3] That year, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) allowed both the PRC and ROC (Republic of China) (which fled to Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War) to compete with the name "China", although the latter withdrew in protest.[3] Due to the dispute over the political status of the "two Chinas", the PRC started a period of isolationism, withdrawing from several international sporting bodies and the UN system until the mid-1970s, when the country participated for the first time in the Asian Games in 1974 and the World University Games in 1977. Returning to the IOC officially only in 1979, which gave it the right to send an official delegation, starting from the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, United States.[3] Their first appearance at the Summer Olympic Games after 1952 was the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States.[1][2]

Designation Issues - PRC versus ROC and classification of Hong Kong

The Chinese Olympic Committee in its current form was recognized in 1979.[3] Before the Chinese Civil War, athletes competed as the Republic of China (ROC) at the Olympics. The ROC continued to compete from 1952 (Summer Olympics) to 1976 (Winter Olympics), but only representing athletes from the island of Taiwan (although the football team members of ROC in the 1960 Summer Olympic Games were overseas Hong Kongers). The dispute over use of the name China resulted in the PRC boycotting the Games completely during these years. In 1979, the International Olympic Committee approved the Nagoya Resolution in which the name "China" would be owned by the National Olympic Committee of the People's Republic of China, based in Beijing. While the Republic of China headquartered in Taipei would be called as Chinese Taipei, which also regulated the use of national symbols during the Games and any related events; this reopened the door for the PRC to finally join the Olympic movement.[3]

Hong Kong has had a distinct National Olympic Committee since 1950 and has competed at the Games since 1952.[4] After the territory was returned to the PRC and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was created in 1997, this arrangement has continued, with Hong Kong competing independently from the rest of the nation under the name Hong Kong, China.[4] China is ranked fourth by total number of medals in the Olympic Games.

Olympic bids and hosted Games

The People's Republic of China has hosted the Games on two occasions: in 2008 and in 2022. Beijing is the first city to have hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

2008 Summer Olympics

Following economic reforms under Deng Xiaoping and financial support from Japan’s Official Development Assistance branch as a result of Japan’s post WW2 reparation plans, China underwent rapid economic growth. As a result, China successfully bid in 2001 to host the 2008 Olympic Games, signaling the CHN's debut as an Olympic host.

In order to host the 2008 Olympics Games, significant investment—particularly from the Government of China—was necessary. With contributions from both the public and private sectors, the central government allocated an estimated ¥313 billion CNY ($6.8 billion USD) to the Games. Associated expenses of hosting, such as infrastructure and developmental costs brought the total investment to around ¥313 billion CNY (roughly $43 billion USD), making it the biggest investment in an Olympics game yet. The event alone generated a profit of over ¥1 billion CNY[5].

The 2008 Olympic Games helped China reshape its international image by utilizing the country’s rich historical culture to divert attention from its past. The Olympics Fuwa mascots were designed to be deeply embedded in Chinese culture, with each ring associated with an aspect of Chinese heritage. Not only was the event able to bring a wider range of China’s culture to a global audience, China’s decision to represent one of the mascots, namely Yingying, as a Tibetan antelope was an attempt to legitimize its annexation of Tibet through symbolic entrenchment—a diplomatic practice used to justify the CCP's regional occupation through military incursion in 1951[6].

Such extensive state involvement[7] indicated the state's goal as presenting China as an emerging global power[8]. Preparation for the Games created millions of jobs for the domestic economy and bolstered nationalism significantly, while successfully hosting the event boosted tourism and increased foreign investments and confidence. Consequently, the country saw a GDP growth of 9.7% in the next year despite the effects of the 2008 financial crisis.

History

Early appearance and hiatus

After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, PRC sent a delegation to the Olympic Games for the first time at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. The Chinese delegation (including athletes and officials) consisted of 38 men and 2 women,[11] including the men's football team, the men's basketball team, and one swimmer. Only the swimmer arrived in time to take part in the official competition, and the football team played two friendly matches.[6] The Chinese stayed ten days in Helsinki and participated in the closing ceremony. The Republic of China's (ROC) team withdrew from the Games on July 17 in response to the IOC's decision to allow both PRC and ROC sportsmen and women to compete.[8] This marked the beginning of the "two Chinas" conflict in the Olympic Movement, which resulted in the Chinese Olympic Committee's withdrawal from the IOC in August 1958.

In the 1970s, China normalized her relations with the United States through Ping Pong Diplomacy, and established diplomatic relations with the United States on January 1, 1979. The normalization finally led to the Chinese Olympic Committee's return to the IOC on October 25, 1979.[11]

Sports summary

Till 2012, China won three-quarters of their gold medals (152 out of 201) and two-thirds of their medals (311 out of 473) in six sports: table tennis, badminton, diving, gymnastics, weightlifting, and shooting.

China recently dominated the gold medals in three of them, table tennis, badminton and diving. China won all golds four times in table tennis and one time in badminton, and won three-quarters of all diving golds since 1992.

The total dominance in table tennis and badminton also leads to negative consequences. Due to the low participations among non-Asian countries, these two sports may lose their positions in the Summer Olympics just like baseball and softball did after 2008.

While through the years, Chinese athletes got many breakthroughs in other sports that are traditionally China's weak sports. Among them, swimming is the potential one that may get into top five sports of China in the near future.

Winter Games

Hosting Olympic logo and mottos

2008 Summer Olympics

2014 Summer Youth Olympics

2022 Winter Olympics

Doping

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". At the Olympics, China has been stripped of a total of 3 Olympic medals due to doping; the three were weightlifters Lei Cao, Xiexia Chen, and Chunhong Liu, who were caught doping at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.[18]

A former Chinese doctor named Xue Yinxian has claimed the occurrence of alleged systematic doping of Chinese athletes in the Olympic Games (and other international sport events) in 2012 and 2017. She claims more than 10,000 athletes in China were doped in the systematic Chinese government doping program and that they received performance-enhancing drugs in the 1980s and 1990s. She claims that all international medals (both in the Olympics and other international competitions) that were won by Chinese athletes in the 1980s and 1990s must be revoked. This is contrary to previous statements by the Chinese government that had denied involvement in systematic doping and claimed that athletes doped individually. The International Olympic Committee and World Anti-Doping Agency investigated these allegations with no conclusions or actions taken.[19][20][21][22][23]

Disqualified/upgraded medalists

Disqualified medalists

China has had four Olympic medals stripped after disqualifications. Three female weightlifters (Lei Cao, Xiexia Chen, Chunhong Liu) lost their medals from the 2008 Olympics due to doping violations. Additionally, the women's gymnastics team was stripped of a bronze medal from the 2000 Olympics after it was discovered that Dong Fangxiao was underage during the competition.[24][25][26] Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".
