The People's Republic of China competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It was the nation's eleventh appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in 1952. The opening ceremony flag-bearers for China are volleyball player Zhu Ting and taekwondoin Zhao Shuai.[2] Sprinter Su Bingtian, who broke the Asian record of 100 m during the Games, is the flag-bearer for the closing ceremony.[3] The delegation competed in all sports except baseball (softball), handball, and surfing.
China finished the Games with 88 medals, 38 of them gold, an improvement of their previous performance at the last Olympics of 70 medals and 26 golds, which moved them up to the second place in overall medal standing from the third place it occupied at the Rio Games. On 18 February 2022, the British men's relay track and field team was stripped of their medals for doping, which moved up the Chinese team to bronze, their 89th medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[4][5]
