In 1898 the first women's magazine was published in China.[1] The number of women's magazines has increased in the country since the late 1980s.[2] In addition to national titles international magazines are also published in the country.[3] Madame Figaro,[4] and Elle are among such titles both of which entered into the Chinese market in 1988.[2][5] In 1998 Cosmopolitan began to be circulated in the country.[6] Esquire is the first international men's magazine which entered the Chinese magazine market in 1999.[1] From the 2000s several Japanese magazines began to be circulated in Chinese language in the country, including CanCam.[7]

Total number of magazines in China was 8,889 in 2001[4] when China became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO).[8] Following the accession of China to the WTO advertising revenues of the magazines significantly increased.[8] The number of foreign consumer magazines was sixty-nine in 2009.[9]
