Asian Table Tennis Championships Medals by Country, 1952–2025

Japan Won 62.9% of TTFA-Era Golds; China Has Won 72.8% Since the ATTU Took Over

Under the TTFA, 10 editions from 1952 to 1970 awarded 70 golds. Japan took 44 of them, 62.9%, and China does not appear in the table at all before 1972. Under the ATTU, 28 editions from 1972 to 2025 have awarded 191 golds; China has 139 of them, 72.8%, and Japan 21, 11.0%.

The handover is visible decade by decade: the top gold winner was Hong Kong in the 1950s (35.7% of that decade's golds), Japan in the 1960s (94.3%), Japan in the 1970s (51.4%) and China in every decade since, peaking at 91.4%. China won every gold in 9 editions.

In the TTFA era 14 countries won a medal, in the ATTU era 10, and 6 appear in both (Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea). China's ATTU-era run has two gaps in the table: it has no row at all in 2021, and the 2025 edition carries only 2 events in the source.
