Senior Career[]
2014[]
Chen's senior debut came at the Chinese Nationals, where she placed fifth with her team. She was named to the Chinese team for the Asian Games and World Championships.

At the World Championships, Chen contributed to her team qualifying to the team final in second place, amidst a few falls. The Chinese delegation chose to switch their lineup around, and Chen was put in for vault and floor exercise.
