Venezuela-China Relations

Republic of China-Venezuela relations have almost been nonexistent since Venezuela recognized the People's Republic of China in 1974, although unofficial relations have been preserved through a Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Caracas. In the 2000s, increasing partnership between the government of the Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and People's Republic of China has led to a more overt rejection of the Republic of China's legitimacy by Venezuela.

History

Relations between the Republic of China and Venezuela began on August 1944 when an office belonging to the ROC was established in Caracas. On September 1949, José Manuel Ferrer who was in charge of the Venezuelan office in China moved with the government of the ROC to Taipei when Chiang Kai-shek lost the control of mainland China.

José Gil Borges was appointed to the position of ambassador of Venezuela in Taiwan on February 1966. On 1 July 1966 the previous ROC office in Caracas was promoted to the category of embassy.

Venezuela broke diplomatic relations with the ROC in favor of the People's Republic of China on 28 June 1974. Since then unofficial relations between the two countries have been managed through a Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Caracas
