First of all, China is a very closed market. It is no coincidence that in 2022 China surpassed the United States in terms of art turnover. China has more than 300,000 commercial institutions: galleries, private museums and auction houses. And since 2002, the Chinese government has invested time and money to develop the local art market.

Second, the quickest and most obvious tip would be to set up WeChat. It's a Chinese social network that has absolutely everything. You'll need an invitation to register there.
⠀
The Chinese also buy in Russia, especially academic artists, and they buy well. But for that you have to be recommended, the collector has to know about your existence.
⠀
China's contemporary art market is 30 years old. And the same number of years of the free art market in Russia. But the difference is not just obvious, it's staggering. What do you think is the reason? Have you seen the photo walking around the Internet from the entrance exam to the Chinese art academy? Yes, yes, there are academies, traditions and even unions of artists there, too. And unlike our unions, membership in the Art Union of China is honorary and increases the value of an artist's work.
⠀
It is to the Chinese people's advantage that their art should be popular around the world. So that Chinese artists grow in value and their Western counterparts promote them. "Soft power" is what the Chinese government calls the effect of Chinese art on surrounding countries. This "soft power" is intended to spread Chinese culture around the world, and for what purpose is anyone's guess.
