List of diplomatic missions of China

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Chinese Embassy)
Diplomatic missions of the People's Republic of China

This is a list of diplomatic missions of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The PRC has the largest number of active diplomatic posts in the world,[1] including 274 bilateral posts (embassies and consulates) in 176 countries as well as 8 permanent missions to international organizations and two other posts (as of November 2023).[2]

For over fifty years, the PRC has been competing with the Republic of China (ROC) for diplomatic recognition in the international community. Until the 1970s, most countries in the world recognized the ROC over the PRC. As of 2018, a small number of states have full diplomatic relations with the ROC (see Republic of China diplomatic missions); the ROC maintains unofficial relations with most states.

Much like the US, the PRC does not have honorary consulates in other countries.[3] In 2015, China opened its largest diplomatic mission in Pakistan.[4]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ↑ Originally established in Port Said, the consulate-general was transferred to Alexandria in 1968.
  2. ↑ Originally an embassy, it was downgraded to a consulate in 1964 following the unification of Zanzibar and Tanganyika, and was later elevated to a consulate-general in 1999.
  3. ↑ Originally established in Lashio, the consulate-general was transferred to Mandalay in 1962.
  4. ↑ The embassy was downgraded to a consulate-general from 1958 to 1961 during Syria's political union with Egypt as the United Arab Republic, before being restored to full embassy status upon the union's dissolution.
  5. ↑ Established in 1973 as the embassy to West Germany. Following the reunification of Germany in 1990 and the subsequent transfer of the capital city, the embassy relocated to Berlin in 1999, and the Bonn facility was downscaled to a branch office, which remains operational to this day.
  6. ↑ The embassy was downgraded to an "office of the Chargé d'Affaires" in 2021, following a diplomatic dispute over the opening of a Taiwanese representative office in Vilnius.
  7. ↑ Originally established in Geneva, the consulate-general was transferred to Alexandria in 1988.
  8. ↑ Closed between 1962 and 1965, and finally in 2024.
