2008 is the first time China has been awarded and hosted either the Summer or Winter Olympics.

China bidded for the Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 games but failed. In 2001, the IOC members voted to give Beijing the honor to host the 2008 Olympic Games, the first time to be held in China

This is the first one. The Chinese was still isolationist until the 1980s and didn't support the Olympics until then, so that is part of why the IOC jumped at the chance to have China host these games.
