In 1971, the left-wing government of Juan Velasco Alvarado recognized the People's Republic of China and established diplomatic relations, leading the Republic of China to sever its relations with Peru.{{cite web |url= http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-03/16/content_5857903.htm |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20151017191531/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-03/16/content_5857903.htm |url-status= dead |archive-date= October 17, 2015 |website= news.xinhuanet.com |author= Wolfgang Bartke |title= The diplomatic service of the People's Republic of China as of June 1981 |publisher= Instituts für Asienkunde |year=1981 |page= 110 |accessdate= 2017-04-23}} As such, the Peruvian embassy in Taipei closed on November 3, 1971, with Peru having opened a commercial office in Beijing some time prior.{{Cite news |title=Two-China Policy Set In Peru |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ArAiAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA13 |last=Martínez |first=Guillermo |date=1971-08-13 |work=Beaver County Times |page=13}}
