Snooker - China Open
The China Open was an incarnation of snooker's oldest Asian ranking tournament. The first such event to be held in Asia was the Thailand Classic in 1995, which was staged in Bangkok, as was the following year's Asian Classic & 1996. The China Open was held at the Beijing University Students' Gymnasium. It was not staged in 2020, 2021 or 2022 due to travel restrictions imposed by the government in China due to the Covid-19 pandemic and disappeared from the tour after that.
