In September 1995, the song "Pojď si lehnout" (Come to Bed) saw the band's first video, directed by Jan Hřebejk.

Chinaski's second album, Dlouhej kouř (Long Smoke - 1997), brought the band greater popularity as well as a number of nominations for music awards.

In December of the same year, a concert titled Na vlastních nohou (On Our Own Feet) was held for children from schools hit by summer floods.

On Czech radio, another popular Chinaski song called "Dobrák od Kosti" (Good Man Throughout) got airplay.

In October, they released their first compilation album titled Premium 1993 - 2003, which was christened in the Lucerna Music Bar in Prague.

The compilation album Premium 1993 - 2003 included 18 of the band's most famous hits and three new songs, "Možná" (Maybe), "Láska a jiná násilí" (Love and Other Violence), and "1970".

The album consists of three fairy tales narrated by the band members together with actor Jiří Lábus and musician Lucie Bílá, as well as 8 new songs.

It sold twenty-three thousand copies within a day of its release, earning it platinum status, and within a week it had become the best-selling album in the Czech Republic.

In November, Chinaski launched their biggest tour to date, which culminated in a concert at Prague's Tipsport Arena.

That year, Music Bar was re-released with an accompanying DVD documenting the tour, as well as additional bonus material.

The same year, Chinaski added another Český slavík award to their collection in December, winning bronze in the category Best Group.

Chinaski performed at Czech and Slovak festivals throughout the year, including Rock for People in Hradec Králové.

Various promotions were offered on this tour, including an interactive page from which fans could download ringtones, pictures, and other material to their cellphones using Bluetooth before the concert.

On 25 July 2008 tragedy struck when Pavel Grohman, drummer and lyricist for the band, crashed and died on his motorcycle.

At the end of August, they finished Autopohádky 2 in the studio and subsequently announced a tour, with David Koller (Lucie) sitting in on drums.

In April 2010, Chinaski flew to the United States, where they conducted a mini-tour and made the acquaintance of producer Simon Sidi (Politicon), a British-born stage design expert, who agreed to work with the band on their upcoming fall tour.

In September 2013, Chinaski released a compilation album titled 20 let v síti (20 Years in the Network), which proved to be another commercial success.

The following year, they held a small set of shows, culminating in October at the O2 Arena with a concert titled Český mejdan s Impulsem (Czech Party with Radio Impuls), together with other famous performers such as Karel Gott, Lucie Bílá, Michal David, Dalibor Janda, Kabát, and others.

In 2017, the band released a new album called Není nám do pláče (We Don't Feel Like Crying), which was a great success.

Just three days after the sold-out concert at the O2 Arena, Michal Malátný and František Táborský announced the end of Chinaski's long-standing lineup on 19 November 2017.

According to the band's official announcement, they did not part ways on negative terms; as a reason, the group cited the loss of "internal chemistry" among its members.

[3] A new lineup was announced in early 2018: Lukáš Pavlík took on drumming duties, Tomi Okres joined on bass, and Jan Steinsdörfer became the band's keyboardist.
