Background
China and Peru first established relations with the signing of a treaty in Tianjin on June 26, 1874. 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. 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.
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. As a result of the Chinese Civil War, Peru closed its embassy in Beijing in 1946.
In 1971, under the military government of Juan Velasco Alvarado, Peru established relations with the People's Republic of China on November 2, 1971, with the Republic of China severing its relations and closing its embassy in Lima as a result, and the PRC opening its embassy the following year. As such, Peru became the third Latin American country to recognize the Beijing-based government.
In May 1978, the Republic of China (Taiwan) established a "Far East Trade Center" in Lima, renamed the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Peru on November 5, 1990, under an executive order approved by then president Alberto Fujimori.
