China–Nicaragua relations are the bilateral relationship between China and Nicaragua. Official relations began in 1985, but were broken in 1990 as a result of Nicaragua's recognition of Taiwan. Relations were restored in 2021. China has an embassy in Managua and Nicaragua has an embassy in Beijing.[1][2]
History
During the Cold War, Nicaragua only maintained formal diplomatic relations with the Republic of China (Taiwan). The Xinhua News Agency opened a branch office in Managua after the Nicaraguan Revolution broke out in 1979.[3] The Nicaraguan government, which was led by Daniel Ortega, first established formal relations with China in 1985,[2] and both countries soon opened resident embassies in their respective capitals.[4]
However, after a difficult presidency marred by war and economic collapse, Ortega was defeated in the 1990 Nicaraguan general election by Violeta Chamorro, who declared the restoration of diplomatic relations with Taiwan.[5] China subsequently severed diplomatic relations.[6] Additionally, Nicaragua shut down its consulate before the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong, which was established during British rule.[7] In December 2021, Nicaragua suspended its relations with Taiwan, and restored its relations with China.[8]
