Ronnie O'Sullivan is the most successful player in the tournament's history, having won the title five times, in 2009, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2023. Four maximum breaks have been made in the history of the event, most recently by Zhang Anda at the 2025 edition. The reigning champion is Kyren Wilson, who won his second title at the 2025 event with an 11–9 victory over Ali Carter.

History

The event was introduced in the 2007–2008 season and was the second ranking event to be held in China as a result of the growth of the sport in the country. Until 2016, the first round was preceded by a wildcard round featuring eight players. In 2018, the tournament became a 24-player invitational event. It is now the longest-running tournament in China after the discontinuation of the China Open in 2019.

Format

Since 2018, the tournament has been an invitational event for the top 16 players in the world rankings, the four highest-ranked Chinese players outside the top 16, and four Chinese wildcards. The top eight players in the world rankings are seeded through to the last 16. In the first round, players ranked 9 to 12 play the four highest-ranked Chinese players while players ranked 13 to 16 play the four Chinese wildcards. All matches are played as the best of 11 frames up to the quarter-finals. The semi-finals are the best of 19 frames and the final is the best of 21 frames.
