Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox diplomatic mission

Embassy of China in SeoulШаблон:Lang-zh ; Шаблон:Lang-ko), is the official diplomatic mission of the People's Republic of China to the Republic of Korea. The embassy is located at 83-7 2nd St, Myeong-dong District, Seoul. The current ambassador is Xing Haiming.

It was originally purchased by Qing merchants and built as the "Qing Merchant Guild Hall". In 1883, it was renamed to the "Qing Mansion". In 1885, when Yuan Shikai went to Korea to negotiate trade matters, it was renamed again to the "Prime Minister's Office".

History

On August 24, 1992, South Korea established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China after severing diplomatic relations with the Republic of China. The embassy buildings and other assets were taken over by the South Korean government and transferred to China.[1] In response to the Korean government's hard stance on taking over the embassy, some of the diplomats who worked there wreaked havoc on the building, including cutting it off from water and electricity, and destroying carpets and furniture.[2] It was alleged that the new envoys who arrived didn't even have a place to eat in the building. Soon after, engineering and technical personnel were called from Shandong Province to repair the building, which was completed by January 1993.Шаблон:Citation needed

The move-in of the embassy was officially complete on February 5, 1993.[3] In 2002, due to the renovation and reconstruction of the Myeongdong site, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea temperorarily moved to Jongno District, which then moved back in January 2014.

The newly built embassy consists of a 10-story office building and another 24-story dormitory building. The new embassy covers an area of 18,000 squared meters, which is larger than the U.S. Embassy (9871m²) and the Russian Embassy (12,012m²) in Seoul. Among the Chinese embassies, it is second in area only to the Chinese embassy in Washington (23,000m²).Шаблон:Citation needed
