Following the completion of the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, Chinese riders accumulated spots in the women's team sprint, as well as the women's sprint, keirin, and omnium, based on their country's results in the final UCI Olympic rankings.

Unable to earn a spot in the men's team sprint, China won a single quota place in the men's individual sprint through the UCI Olympic rankings. Qualification for the individual sprint thereby implies a quota place being added to the men's keirin.

Chinese fencers qualified a full squad each in the women's team épée at the Games by finishing among the top four nations in the FIE Olympic Team Rankings, while the women's sabre team claimed the continental spot as the highest-ranked team from Asia and Oceania. Vying for qualification as the next highest-ranked country across all regions, the men's épée team accepted a spare berth freed up by Africa to complete the route in the rankings. Xu Yingming (men's sabre) and Chen Qingyuan (women's foil) secured additional places on the Chinese team as one of the two highest-ranked fencers vying for individual qualification from Asia and Oceania in the FIE Adjusted Official Rankings, while the reigning Asian Games gold medalist Huang Mengkai rounded out the Chinese roster by winning the final match of the men's foil at the Asia and Oceania Zonal Qualifier in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.^[28]
