China-Seychelles relations

China	Seychelles

China–Seychelles relations refer to bilateral relations betweenChina andSeychelles. China has an embassy inVictoria and Seychelles has an embassy inBeijing and a consulate inShanghai.

Diplomatic relations were established on June 30, 1976.^[1]: 348 China began providing Seychelles with diplomatic aide in 1977, including things such as constructing a poly-technical school and developing housing project inLes Mamelles. In 2002, China exported US$1.48 million worth of goods, while importing only $100,000 from Seychelles. The current Chineseambassador to Seychelles is Wang Weiguo,^[2] who heads the embassy inSaint Louis, on the island ofMahe.

In 2011, the Seychelles government offered to China the possibility of establishing a port in Seychelles to supply ships fightingpiracy off the coast of Somalia.^[3]

In its foreign relations, Seychelles maximizes the benefits it receives from both China and India by taking advantage of those two countries' rivalry with respect to the strategic waterway in which Seychelles exists.^[1]: 47

From 2000 to 2011, there are approximately 16 Chinese official development finance projects identified in Seychelles through various media reports.^[4] These projects range from a concessional loan of 300 million RMB in 2007, to a 321 million debt rescheduling in 2011, and a development aid grant worth US$8 million in 2011.^[5]

Seychelles follows theone China principle. It recognizes the People's Republic of China as the sole government of China andTaiwan as an integral part of China's territory, and supports all efforts by the PRC to "achievenational reunification". It also considersHong Kong,Xinjiang andTibet to be China's internal affairs.^[6]
