The Volvo China Open is part of the OneAsia Tour, and has been co-sanctioned by the European Tour since 2004.
It has not, however, been co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour since 2009. This is the result of a dispute between between OneAsia and the Asian Tour, in which the China Open, Pine Valley Beijing Open, Korea Open and China Classic were removed from the Asian Tour schedule. Asian Tour players participating in those events are penalized, risking membership on the Asian Tour.
In 2020 and 2021, the China Open no longer was co-sanctioned by the European Tour.
