Taipei Representative Office in the United Kingdom

The Qing dynasty established an embassy to the United Kingdom, which was inherited by Republic of China. After the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949, for a short time the UK continued to recognise the government of Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China, before switching recognition to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1950, The British consulate was closed after the UK and the PRC upgraded relations to ambassadorial level in March 1972, and in June 1980 the building and land of the consulate in Tamsui were returned to the Taiwanese government. In 1992, the Free Chinese Centre was revised to become the Taipei Representative Office in the United Kingdom. ==Organizational structure==
