Previously, the country representatives for the Miss Grand International pageant were determined through The Miss China (年度中国版图小姐竞选) contest,[6][7][8][9] which was conducted by Guangzhou Zhoumeng Marketing, Co., Ltd., to which MGI PLC, the owner of Miss Grand International, awarded the franchise in 2013.[4] The license was later transferred to a Zhanjiang-based event organizer, Xin Fu Lai Enterprise Management Co., Ltd., and Shengyu Xinghui Wenhua Chuanbo Ltd. in 2020[10] and 2024,[11] respectively.
Since the first participation in 2013, China's representatives have never won the Miss Grand International title. The highest placement is the top 20 finalists in 2013 and 2017, obtained by Jie Pan and Chen Xuejiao, respectively.[5][12]
History
China made its Miss Grand International debut in 2013. Its first representative, Jie Pan, was appointed by the Guangzhou-based event organizer led by Adam Lee, Guangzhou Zhoumeng Marketing Co., Ltd., who served as Miss Grand China's national licensee from 2013 to 2020.[4] The company also launched its national pageant in 2013 named The Miss China (年度中国版图小姐竞选) to select the country representatives for various international pageants, including Miss Grand International.[3]
In the first years of establishment, the winners of the aforementioned national pageant were also assumed as Miss Grand China.[6][7][8][9] However, after an international pageant called Miss Landscape International was launched by Adam Lee in 2018, the winners of The Miss China were instead sent to participate in his own established international pageant,[13] and one of the runners-up was later appointed as Miss Grand China, causing the license to be transferred to another firm, Xin Fu Lai Enterprise Management, in 2020 until 2021.[10]
In 2021, an attempt to organize the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand China pageant was observed. The press conference of such was held in Zhanjiang on March 13, 2021, and the grand final competition was scheduled for October 4, also in Zhanjiang,[1][2] but the plan was entirely canceled due to the impact of China government travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021–2022, which caused Xin Fu Lai to appoint Chinese Canadians to join the international pageant as China representatives.
After an absence in 2023, the license was given to Shengyu Xinghui Wenhua Chuanbo Ltd. (盛娱星汇文化传播)[11] led by Fang Yuxiang (方宇翔)[14][15] the following year. The first Miss Grand China was then organized in Nanhai on 25 September 2024 with fifteen contestants competing.[16]
