In 1985 China joined the IBF in the name of the All-China Sports Federation. Up till now, a total of 16 provinces and municipalities in China have formed their own bocce associations, and the game is played in 25 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. Over the years Chinese players have achieved noticeable results at the World Championships, placing 16th in the 2nd World Championships in 1985, 10th in 1987, 6th in 1989 and 2nd in 1991. At the 1st World Cup Tournament for Champion Clubs in 1992, the Chinese team beat a strong field to win the title. In 1997 China made its debut at the World Singles Championships, where Zhang Meiling managed to take a silver medal in the women's division.
In February 1986, the State Physical Culture and Sports Commission (now the State Sport General Administration) issued a notice concerning the popularization of bocce in China and decided to conduct the National Championships annually. Since the 1st National Championships in 1986 12 editions for men and 10 editions for women have been held. The National Junior Championships were started in 1989, and the National Competition for the Aged in the following year.
