List of ambassadors of China to Japan

Last updated

The current Chinese Ambassador to Japan is the official representative of the People's Republic of China to Japan.

Contents

During the Qing dynasty, the Chinese envoy held the rank of Resident minister. When the Qing dynasty fell in 1912, the Republic of China (1912–1949) was the officially recognized government of China, which upgraded the role to Ambassador in 1936.

When the Kuomintang government fell following the Chinese Civil War, Japan, along with the rest of the world continued to recognize the KMT government in exile as the legitimate government of China until the United Nations passed Resolution 2758 in 1972, recognizing the People's Republic of China as the de jure government of the region.

Due to the current Political status of Taiwan, consular services with Taiwan are currently administered through the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan. [2]
