Guinea-Bissau China Relations

People's Republic of China – Guinea-Bissau relations refers to the current and historical relationship between the People's Republic of China and Guinea-Bissau. Relations were established in March 1974, several month before Guinea-Bissau's September 1974 independence. From 1990-1998, Guinea-Bissau maintained diplomatic relations with the Republic of China ( Taiwan ) rather than with the People's Republic. Relations were reestablished in 1998 and maintained since.
