During the 1974 Asian Games, China became the second nation in the history of Asian Games after Japan to cross the 100 medal-mark in one edition.[3]

China has led the gold medal count in each Asian Games since 1982. China also stands out among all Asian teams, being the only one to have won more than 100 gold medals since the 1990 Asian Games.[4]

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.[5]

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.[6]

At the 2022 Asian Games, China became the first nation to reach 200 gold medals in one edition.[7]

Doping

edit
Main article: Doping in China

Systematic doping of Chinese athletes in Olympic Games (and other international sport events) revealed by Xue Yinxian in 2012 and 2017. He claimed 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. He stated that all international medals (Both in the Olympics and other international competitions) that were won by Chinese athletes in the 1980s and 1990s (1980 to 2000) should be taken back. This is contrary to previous statements made by the Chinese government that denied involvement in systematic doping, claiming that athletes doped individually. The International Olympic Committee and World Anti-Doping Agency investigated these allegations with no conclusions given.[32][33][34][35][36]
