China was the host nation of the 2008 Summer Olympics. China was represented by the Chinese Olympic Committee (COC), and the team of selected athletes were officially known as Team China.
As the host country, China received an automatic quota for every competition, though athletes had to meet the qualification standards set by the country's national Olympics committee. A total of 639 athletes qualified for places on the national team, the 2008 game's largest, and significantly more than the 407-strong Chinese team that went to Athens in 2004. Chinese athletes from every province qualified to compete in all 28 Olympic sports, marking the first time that Chinese athletes were represented in every sport at an Olympics. Of the total 639 athletes, 469 were competing in their first Olympics, 165 competed in Athens 2004, 37 took part in Sydney 2000 and the average age is 24.2 years old. Three athletes, diver Guo Jingjing, shooter Tan Zongliang and basketballer Li Nan, were making their fourth Olympic appearances, having first competed in Atlanta 1996. China's Olympic delegation totalled 1,099, which included 460 officials.[3][4] According to Olympic protocol, China entered as the last country into the Beijing National Stadium during the Opening Ceremony. They were led by basketballer Yao Ming and Lin Hao, a 9-year-old primary school student who had rescued two schoolmates during the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake.
China topped the rankings for the first time with 51 gold medals. In 2009 Team China won the Laureus World Sports Awards for the best Team of the Year.
The team excludes athletes from the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, which competed separately as Hong Kong, China.
China won 51 gold medals, 21 silvers, and 28 bronzes making this the largest ever medals tally in China's Olympic history and marking the first time China has ranked first.[2] They entered a team of 639 athletes, the large size characteristic of host nation teams.[5][6]
On Sunday August 17, China achieved its greatest ever Olympic performance when the women's table tennis team defeated Singapore 3-0 in the final to win the country's 33rd gold medal, surpassing the previous best tally of 32 at Athens 2004. That day's gain of eight gold medals is also the largest single-day gain by a national team since the 1988 Summer Olympics.

As the host nation, China automatically received a full complement of six quota spots (three for men, three for women) for the archery competitions. China's national selection competition resulted in Xue Haifeng, Jiang Lin and Li Wenquan taking the three men's spots, while Zhang Juanjuan, Chen Ling and Guo Dan earned the women's spots.[11] Xue and Zhang are both veterans of the 2004 Games, with Zhang a member of the women's team that took the silver medal. That medal was China's fourth silver in archery.
On August 14, in the women's individual event, Zhang Juanjuan became the first Chinese archer to win a gold medal.

China qualified ten boxers for the Olympic boxing tournament, far surpassing its guaranteed quota of at least six spots. The flyweight class was the only in which China did not qualify a boxer. Seven of the ten Chinese qualifiers did so at the world championships.[13] Hu, Maimaitituersun, and Zhang Xiaoping qualified at the first Asian continental qualifying tournament.[14]

A nation may earn up to 1 boat in each of the 14 rowing events. China qualified for 11 of the total 14 rowing events.
Zhang Liang was disqualified from the Men's single sculls after he forgot the time of his race and failed to turn to the right heat. When Liang finally arrived to take part in the single scull the competition had already finished. "I wrongly remembered my time as that of the third group, but actually it was the second group", he explained. The rules of the International Rowing Federation say if an athlete fails to attend a race he forfeits his right to compete in further races. Therefore Zhang not only missed the single sculls but also forfeited his right to compete in the final of the double sculls. This meant his action had also automatically disqualified his team-mate Su Hui. The China Water Sports Administration appealed the decision but the plea was rejected. "This shows we still have some problems in team organization", commented Wei Di, the director of China's water sports programs.[18]
