Her greatest success so far in an individual event was tying for first in the 2002 Under-20 World Junior Girls Chess Championship with Humpy Koneru, but being adjudged second on tie-break.
Zhao Xue has played an important part in the last two victories of China in the Women's Chess Olympiad. She as a first reserve scored 11/12 (performance rating of 2723) on board 4 in the 35th Chess Olympiad in Bled in 2002. She has lost just one game (to Ketevan Arakhamia) on that occasion and that remains the only Olympiad game she has lost in her three Olympiad appearances.
