Following the takeover of the capital of Nanking in 1941, Romania broke off relations with the ROC and began recognizing the Japanese-backed Chinese Republic.[citation needed] After the surrender of Japan, relations between the two never resumed, but after the Chinese Communists seized power in 1949 and Romania abolished the monarchy in 1947, the Romanian People's Republic recognized People's Republic of China (PRC) as the legitimate government of China on October 5 of that year.[citation needed] China and Romania exchanged ambassadors for the first time in March 1950.[citation needed]
When the Soviet Union and many other European communist countries withdrew their advisors from China in 1960, advisors from Yugoslavia were among those that remained.[1]: 243
Relations between the Romania and China improved after Romania broke off ties with the Soviet Union in 1964.[citation needed]
In 2015, Romania signed an agreement with China General Nuclear Power Group for assistance in building civil nuclear power stations.[2] When the National Liberal Party came into power, it cancelled all projects that the Social Democratic Party government had agreed to with China, including the nuclear power agreement,[3]: 164 which Romania cancelled in 2020.[4][5]
