== History ==
China had participated informally in the 1985 International Mathematical Olympiad. Only two students were sent.<ref>{{Cite web|title=China won the International Olympic mathematics competition and tied with the United States for the_Sihai network AMP|url=https://en.4hw.com.cn/644/140735.html|access-date=2022-05-10|website=en.4hw.com.cn}}</ref> Starting from 1986, except in 1998 when the International Mathematical Olympiad was held in Taiwan, China has always participated.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The 1998 IMO|url=https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~cgsmall/Imo_report98.html|access-date=2022-05-10|website=www.math.uwaterloo.ca}}</ref> Chinese Mathematical Society organizes the Selection Process, and the National round, which has been organized since 1960.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Swetz|first=Frank|date=1972|title=The Chinese Mathematical Olympiads: A Case Study|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2317673|journal=The American Mathematical Monthly|volume=79|issue=8|pages=899–904|doi=10.2307/2317673|issn=0002-9890}}</ref>

== Selection process ==
Many of China's students, who exhibited exceptional performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad, later became outstanding mathematicians, scientists, and technologists.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Xiong|first=Bin|last2=Jiang|first2=Peijie|date=2021-11-25|title=The Chinese experience at the International Mathematical Olympiad|url=https://xblk.ecnu.edu.cn/EN/10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2021.06.001|journal=Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)|language=en|volume=2021|issue=6|pages=1|doi=10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2021.06.001|issn=1000-5641}}</ref>

The China selection process consists of the China Team Selection Test, the final stage used to determine the six students participating in the IMO from China. There can be 3 to 5 individual tests in the series.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Jeck|first=Lim|date=2009-12-26|title=Welcome all!: Maths Olympiads in China|url=http://wwwdontmesswith6a.blogspot.com/2009/12/maths-olympiads-in-china.html|access-date=2022-05-10|website=Welcome all!}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=China National Team Selection Test|date=2016-05-10|url=https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/10.1142/9789813142947_0004|work=Mathematical Olympiad in China (2011?2014)|volume=Volume 15|pages=109–159|series=Mathematical Olympiad Series|publisher=CO-PUBLISHED WITH EAST CHINA NORMAL UNIVERSITY PRESS|doi=10.1142/9789813142947_0004|isbn=978-981-314-374-6|access-date=2022-05-10}}</ref>
