Peru–Taiwan relations

Peru established relations with the Qing dynasty with the signing of a treaty in Tianjin on June 26, 1874.{{Cite news |title=Breve historia de las relaciones sino-peruanas |last=Chong Geng |first=Andrés Humberto |work=China Today |date=April 2003 |url=http://www.chinatoday.com.cn/hoy/hoy20034/05.htm}}{{Cite journal |title=La inmigración china en el Perú (1850-1890) |journal=Boletín de la Sociedad Peruana de Medicina Interna |issue=3 |volume=5 |year=1992 |url=https://sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe/bvrevistas/spmi/v05n3/inmigración.htm}} Peru's first Resident Ambassador was named the next year, assuming his duties on May 20, 1878, while the Chinese ambassador would only reach Peru in 1883, after the War of the Pacific.{{sfn|Basadre Grohmann|2014|page=357}}{{sfn|García Corrochano|2019|page=61}} Relations between both states started with the Coolie Trade and matured during the ‘Hundred Years weakness and poverty’ (Wang, 1993) from the 1840s to 1949 of the impoverished Qing China, followed by a republic divided by civil wars and invaded by Japan.{{cite journal |title=Cultural artefact, ideology export or soft power?

After the establishment of the Republic of China, Peru maintained its relations with the new Kuomintang government. In 1944, the diplomatic status of the two countries was raised to embassy level, and high-level officials of the two countries exchanged frequent visits in the 1950s and 1960s.{{Cite web |title=駐處與駐地關係 |url=https://www.taiwanembassy.org/pe/post/1339.html |website=Portal of Republic of China (Taiwan) Diplomatic Missions |trans-title=Residency and Resident Relations [between the Republic of China and Peru]}} As a result of the Chinese Civil War, Peru closed its embassy in Beijing in 1946.{{sfn|García Corrochano|2019|page=64}}

The anticipated official announcement of Peru's recognition of the People's Republic of China instead of the Republic of China was issued via a memo made public on November 2, 1971. In response, the final Kuomintang ambassador, Liu Tsung-han, left for Jorge Chávez International Airport on November 4, making a speech before departing to a crowd of several pro-Kuomintang Chinese denouncing the memo and announcing the cessation of diplomatic relations between both countries on the same day.{{sfn|Zhang|2022|page=4}}

Following Tsung-han's departure, other members of the diplomatic staff also left for Taiwan. On December 14, the Kuomintang's emblem was removed from the embassy,{{sfn|Zhang|2022|page=4}} then located on the 5th floor of Jr. Pablo Bermúdez 177,{{Cite book |title=國立政治大學校友通訊錄 |publisher=國立政治大學校友會 |year=1964 |pages=15 |language=zh |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Jds-AQAAIAAJ}} and a group composed of Consul General Ding Zhan'ao and secretaries Cai Shuiliang and Wu Jixiong left for Taiwan on January 1, 1972. On the same day, Chinese associations in Lima celebrated the founding of the Republic of China, then still popular among the Chinese colony in Lima.{{sfn|Zhang|2022|page=4}}

The new embassy of the Beijing government would later open in February 1972.{{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 |access-date= 2017-04-23}}
