China first competed at the Paralympic Games in 1984, at the Summer Games in New York City, United States and Stoke Mandeville, United Kingdom. Since the 2004 Athens Games, China has topped the medal table with more gold medals, more silver medals and more medals overall than any other nation at every Summer Paralympics. With the nation's 10th appearance at Summer Paralympics, China is the most successful Asian country overall, making them the 3rd most successful country in the Summer Paralympics history. Despite having competed at every Winter Games since Salt Lake City in 2002, China did not win a single medal until at the 2018 Winter Paralympics, where China won their first ever gold medal as well as the first medal in the wheelchair curling competition.
