The Apostolic Nunciature to China is the diplomatic mission of the Holy See to the Republic of China (Taiwan). The Apostolic Nunciature to China is located at 7–1, Lane 265, Heping East Road Section 2, Da'an District, Taipei. The Holy See conducts its relationship with China through formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan and the Holy See is the only European country in which Taiwan has an embassy. It does not have formal diplomatic relationship with the People's Republic of China.
The rank of a nuncio is equivalent to that of an ambassador. The post has been vacant since 1971 when UN Resolution 2758 was passed by which the representatives of the PRC government were recognized as the only legitimate representatives of China. Since then the mission has been headed by a chargé d'affaires.
