Overall Score
2020

China scores lower than the average score of countries in its region, income group, and the global average. China would greatly benefit from improvements in its cigarette tax system.

Component Score
2020

China is not performing well in any of the score component areas. Improvements can be made by raising cigarette prices, reducing cigarette affordability, increasing tax share of price, and improving tax structure.

Scores Over Time

China' overall scores remained largely constant between 2014 and 2020. The tax share of price increased slightly in that time, before declining.
