It was established in 1988 and the Chinese name of the pageant was rebranded in 2007.
The current Miss Chinese International is [[Miss Hong Kong 2018]] winner [[Miss Hong Kong 2018|Hera Chan]], who was crowned at the [[Miss Chinese International Pageant 2019]].
The 31st Miss Chinese International Pageant of 2020, originally scheduled to take place February 2020, was postponed to 2021 due to the ongoing [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=TVB postpones 2020 Miss Chinese International pageant|url=https://sg.style.yahoo.com/tvb-postpones-2020-miss-chinese-081800041.html|access-date=2020-09-01|website=sg.style.yahoo.com|date=31 January 2020 |language=en-SG}}</ref>

At its inception in 1988, in what was formerly [[British Hong Kong]], delegates were either winners or runners-up of regional Chinese beauty pageants around the world excluding the country of [[China]], as originally, this was a pageant for Chinese delegates from overseas. In 2007, pageant organizers altered the entry requirements to include delegates representing Mainland China. All delegates at the time of the pageant are between the ages at least of 17 and 25, with the upper age limit expanded to 27 in 2012. The delegates must be of at least partial Chinese descent.
In 2009, a record number of 11 delegates came from Mainland China, more than one-third of the total contestant count. The number of China delegates has since decreased, with the 2013 pageant having only one Mainland Chinese delegate, representing Foshan.
=== Chinese name change === Starting in 2007, the pageant allowed mainland Chinese participants, and the Chinese name of the pageant changed from 國際華裔小姐競選 (Cantonese: '''Gwokjai Wayeui Siuje Gingsyun;''' Mandarin: ''Guójì huáyì xiǎojiě jìngxuǎn''), which literally translated to "Miss International of Chinese Descent Pageant" to 國際中華小姐競選 (Cantonese: '''Gwokjai Jungwa Siuje Gingsyun''' (Mandarin: ''Guójì zhōnghuá xiǎojiě jìngxuǎn'') to reflect the change, matching the English pageant title of ''Miss Chinese International Pageant''.

===Pageant timeframe=== The first two pageants ([[Miss Chinese International Pageant 1998|1988]] & [[Miss Chinese International Pageant 1989|1989]]) were held in the fourth quarter of the calendar year. However, in 1990, TVB decided to shift the pageant date to the beginning of the year to coincide with [[Chinese New Year|Lunar New Year]]. But since [[Miss Chinese International Pageant 1989]] was not held until mid-December, [[Miss Chinese International Pageant 1991|the 3rd Miss Chinese International Pageant]] came early 1991 with no pageant being held in 1990. Since then, the pageant was held late January or early February of every year.
In 2010, the pageant reverted to being held in November, delaying the 22nd Miss Chinese International Pageant by almost 10 months. Therefore, [[Christine Kuo]], Miss Chinese International 2009 is the longest serving titleholder, having served 658 days from January 17, 2009 to November 5, 2010. The delay of the pageant meant that several regional titleholders from 2009 were not able to enter [[Miss Chinese International Pageant 2010]] as they have already crowned their successors by November 2010, including Miss Hong Kong 2009 Sandy Lau. [[Miss Hong Kong Pageant]] 2010 was held in August and Lau's successor, Toby Chan, represented Hong Kong in Miss Chinese International 2010 instead.
One year later, TVB announced that the 23rd Miss Chinese International Pageant would be delayed until January 15, 2012, meaning that there would be no pageant held in 2011.<ref>[http://b.tvb.com/whatsnew/最新消息/2011/10/04/2012國際中華小姐競選內地賽區/ Miss Chinese International Pageant 2012 Announcement] TVB.com article (In Chinese). Retrieved 2011-10-21</ref> This is the first time since 1990 a pageant would not be held during a calendar year. As with the year before, several regional titleholders from 2010 would not be able to enter [[Miss Chinese International Pageant 2012]] as they have already crowned their successors by the end of 2011. However, the organizers allowed 2010 regional titleholders from Auckland, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver to compete with their 2011 counterparts in Miss Chinese International 2012, marking a first in the pageant's history where two representatives of the same region compete together.
The 31st Miss Chinese International Pageant was originally scheduled to take place on February 15, 2020 in Hong Kong. However, on January 28, 2020, organizer TVB announced that due to the ongoing [[COVID-19 pandemic]], for the safety of the delegates, crew, and audience, the pageant would be postponed to the year 2021, with the actual date to be announced.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/tvbcom/posts/10157743573023449 Miss Chinese International Pageant 2020 postponement announcement] TVB official Facebook account article (In Chinese).

==Results== Delegates representing Canadian cities have won 11 iterations of the competition; with Vancouver winning seven titles (2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2010, 2013, 2016), Toronto three times (1992, 1997 and 2009) and Montreal once (1993).

Delegates representing New York City, USA have won thrice, first in 1999, followed by back-to-back wins in 2017 and 2018.
