The first  pageants (1988 & 1989) have been held in the fourth sector of the calendar 12 months. However, in 1990, TVB determined to shift the competition date to the start of the 12 months to coincide with Lunar New Year. But in view that Miss Chinese International Pageant 1989 became not held till mid-December, the third Miss Chinese International Pageant came early 1991 without a festival being held in 1990. Since then, the festival changed into held late January or early February of every yr.

In 2010, the pageant reverted to being held in November, delaying the twenty second Miss Chinese International Pageant by means of nearly 10 months. Therefore, Christine Kuo, Miss Chinese International 2009 is the longest serving titleholder, having served 658 days from January 17, 2009 to November 5, 2010. The delay of the pageant meant that numerous local titleholders from 2009 had been not able to input Miss Chinese International Pageant 2010 as they have already crowned their successors by means of November 2010, inclusive of Miss Hong Kong 2009 Sandy Lau. Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2010 was held in August and Lau's successor, Toby Chan, represented Hong Kong in Miss Chinese International 2010 rather.

One year later, TVB introduced that the 23rd Miss Chinese International Pageant could be delayed till January 15, 2012, meaning that there might be no competition held in 2011. This is the primary time due to the fact 1990 a pageant could no longer be held during a calendar year. As with the yr earlier than, numerous local titleholders from 2010 would now not be capable of enter Miss Chinese International Pageant 2012 as they have already topped their successors by using the end of 2011. However, the organizers allowed 2010 local titleholders from Auckland, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver to compete with their 2011 opposite numbers in Miss Chinese International 2012, marking a primary within the competition's records where two representatives of the same region compete together.

The 31st Miss Chinese International Pageant was at the beginning scheduled to take place on February 15, 2020 in Hong Kong. However, on January 28, 2020, organizer TVB introduced that due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, for the safety of the delegates, crew, and target audience, the competition would be postponed to the year 2021, with the actual date to be introduced.
