The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Philippines is China’s chief diplomatic mission to the Philippines, located in Manila. The mission’s origins trace to the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between the People’s Republic of China and the Philippines on June 9, 1975, when the Philippines became the first Southeast Asian country of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to recognize the PRC. As territorial disputes between China and the Philippines have grown heated in recent years, the Chinese embassy has been directly involved in campaigns of propaganda and disinformation, including through its social media feeds. In April 2025, Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino presented documents alleging the Chinese Embassy paid a Philippine marketing firm PHP930,000, or about $16,300, to operate troll farms spreading disinformation against government officials in the country.
