Has China established diplomatic relations with the Vatican?

No, the Vatican is still a country of diplomatic relations with Taiwan Province Province.

It violates the basic principles of China on this issue, so it is impossible to establish diplomatic relations.

And Catholicism in China is not led by the Vatican.

There are at least three sensitive points in the relationship between China and Vatican: first, the Vatican has always opposed the global productive forces and pursued pure religion and its political orientation is not completely unified; Second, maintain normal diplomatic relations with Taiwan Province Province; Finally, the Vatican is more inclined to incorporate the Catholic churches in countries with diplomatic relations into the Vatican's "Orthodox Church" system, that is, the Pope appoints bishops of all parishes in the country and stipulates their leadership and management methods. This is in contradiction with the principle of "three selves" (self-reliance, self-support and autobiography) of Catholicism in China at present.
