The Diocese of Zhangjiakou is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in China. It was created on 10 September 2025 by Pope Leo XIV, coinciding with the suppression of the Diocese of Xuanhua and the Diocese of Xiwanzi, as well as the consecration of Zhangjiakou's first bishop, Giuseppe Wang Zhengui. It is a suffragan diocese in the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archdiocese of Beijing. [1] [2]
In July 2025, Pope Leo XIV decided to suppress the Diocese of Xuanhua and the Diocese of Xiwanzi. The establishment of the Diocese of Zhangjiakou to replace the two suppressed dioceses aligns the Catholic Church with the Chinese state-affiliated Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, which administers Catholics in the country.
