People's Republic of China first competed at the Asian Games in 1974.[1] During that year, China became the second nation in the history of Asian Games after Japan to cross the 100 medal-mark in one edition.[2]

China has led the gold medal count in each Asian Games since 1982.

In 1986, China, together with Japan and South Korea became the first three countries in the history of Asian Games to cross the total 200 medal-mark in one edition, having become the only three countries with three-digit medal tally as well in that year.[3]

In 1990, China achieved a significant milestone by being the first nation to surpass the threshold of 100 gold medals and 300 total medals in a single edition.[4]

In 2010, China became the first nation in the history of Asian Games to cross the 400 medal-mark in one edition.[5]

At the 2022 Asian Games, China became the first nation to reach 200 gold medals in one edition.[6]
