History

The embassy opened in February 1972, [2] one year after the military government of Juan Velasco Alvarado recognized the People's Republic of China instead of the Republic of China as the sole government of China. [3] The Taiwanese government only opened a representative office six years after the closure of its embassy, in 1978. [4]

The embassy's opening was met with festivities organised by pro-Beijing committees, who welcomed the new Chinese ambassador upon his arrival at Jorge Chávez International Airport in numbers that reached up to 500 people. [5] At the time, however, many Chinese Peruvians identified with the Nationalist government in Taipei, which caused a division in the community that faded in the following decades. [6]

In 1985, during the internal conflict in Peru, the embassy was bombed alongside the Soviet and U.S. embassies. [7] [8] The attacks were carried out with dynamite, with the attack on the Chinese embassy destroying its front door. [9] The embassy was again attacked in 1989. [10] In 2000, the embassy was relocated to San Isidro. On January 25, 2023, the building's main entrance was blocked by protestors as part of a series of protests by supporters of former president Pedro Castillo. [11]
