Central African Republic–People's Republic of China relations refer to the bilateral relations of the Central African Republic and the People's Republic of China.

History

Following establishment of relations in 1964, when Jean-Bédel Bokassa came to power in 1966, he switched the nation's recognition back to Taiwan , severing diplomatic ties with the government in Beijing , which lasted until although Bokassa's reversal in 1976. The Central African Republic switched its recognition back to Taipei in 1991 under President André-Dieudonné Kolingba. Kolingba's successor, Ange-Félix Patassé, would switch the CAR's recognition back to the People's Republic of China in 1998, which remained as of 2010. Since 1998, China has delivered much foreign aid to the CAR, including doctors and civil engineers. Trade between China and the CAR has increased in the 2000s (decade), and CAR President François Bozizé Yangouvonda called for more Chinese investment in the country in 2009.
