The medal was designed by John R. Sinnock and features a Chinese junk at half sail on the obverse, symbolizing the area of operations, and a left-facing eagle perched on an anchor on the reverse. The ribbon is dark blue with two sets of red and gold stripes. The medal was discontinued in 1940 with the advent of the China Service Medal.
