Over the past four decades, China has witnessed an important nutritional transition, characterised by a heightened overnutrition burden among children. The country now has the largest population of children with obesity globally. In this paper, we review the epidemiology of childhood obesity in China, its determinants, and risk factors, with a particular focus on school-aged children. Evidence unveils substantial variations across age, gender, and region. We describe multilevel obesogenic determinants, including macro-level social, cultural, and environmental factors; meso-level factors related to schools and communities; and micro-level factors tied to families and individuals from the perinatal-infant stage to childhood and adolescence. The primary drivers of childhood obesity appear to be rooted in the broader macro-level social, economic, and technological environment; obesogenic factors, which have affected school, community, and family environments; and accelerated unhealthy behaviour uptake. Identifying and characterising the catalysts behind the rise in childhood obesity in China is imperative for the development of scalable, effective, and tailored prevention, control, and intervention strategies.
