This article contains several lists of ambassadors from China. The incumbents change from time to time; sometimes a post starts or stops being temporarily headed by a lower ranking diplomat. Occasionally, a post is created or abolished.
In accordance with articles 67 and 81 of the Constitution of China, ambassadors are selected by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and officially appointed by the President of China.[1][2]
