Liberia China Relations

On February 17th, 1977, Liberia established diplomatic relations with China. On October 9th, 1989, it declared restoring relations with Taiwan . Next day, Chinese Government ceased relations with Liberia. In 1993, the two countries restored relations. However, in 1997, Liberia Government said they admitted 'two Chinas'. Chinese Government broke off relations with Liberia again. Not until 2003 had the relations between China and Liberia been recovered.

History

Liberia dropped diplomatic relations with the ROC on October 12, 2003 and reestablished ties with the People's Republic of China. This move was seen largely as a result of the PRC's lobbying in the UN and plans to deploy a peacekeeping force in Liberia.

Cultural relations

In October 2009, the Chinese embassy in Monrovia opened language Chinese language courses for Liberians. The need for such courses was due to the growing business relations and the total lack of Chinese speakers among Liberian citizens. The Liberians hoped to possibly work for and study in China.
