Findings: This study identiﬁes the starting point of China’s online education policy and divides its development into four stages: namely, the pilot exploration stage (1999–2002), the standard development stage (2002–2012), the transformation stage (2012–2017), and the governance improvement stage (2017–present). Policy development reﬂects three characteristics: the need to meet the requirements of the times, shifting from a single management to multiple governance approach, and developing from one object for some people to one object for everyone. Current policy focuses on regulating institutions, content, and products, as well as guiding social capital to participate in online education.  \nOriginality/Value: This study systematically analyzes the development of China’s online education policies, discerns policy characteristics, and identiﬁes current policy priorities.

In China, which has the largest educational volume in the world, more than 200 million students had to study at home, with tens of millions of teachers forced to transition to online teaching. This move has had profound effects, with China’s online education effectively supporting the learning of nearly 300 million teachers and students. In addition to promoting online education within China, the shift to online learning during the pandemic served to push the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) into the mainstream of global higher education. It has also accelerated the development pace of China’s higher education, with China now a leading force able to provide “Chinese solutions” or “Chinese experiences” to other countries via advances in large-scale online education.  \nHowever, despite attracting signiﬁcant attention, China’s online education is driven by capital and overtly chaotic.
