The ambassador of China to the Philippines is the official representative of the People's Republic of China to the Philippines.
In July 1898, Spain gave permission to the Qing government in Beijing of establishing a consulate in Manila. Beijing had informed the Spanish minister in China and the Spanish Governor-General of the Philippines that they had selected Chen Gang as the first Consul General to the Philippines. However, Chen's arrival was delayed due to the United States' blockade in the islands, making his father, Chen Qianshan, as the acting consul general. As the US gained the Philippines as its occupied territory, the US government in Washington expressed that they would not recognize Chen Gang as consul general. Chen resigned to his post in 1899 for personal matters and was succeeded by Li Rongyao.
On June 9, 1975, relations between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of the Philippines established diplomatic relations. That same year, Xiao Te began his role as charge d'affaires until the arrival of the first PRC ambassador for the Chinese embassy in the Philippines, Ke Hua.
