China–Haiti relations refers to the current and historical relations between the People's Republic of China and Haiti. Diplomatic relations between China and Haiti do not currently exist, with Haiti refuting the One China policy, holding diplomatic relations with the Republic of China (Taiwan) instead.
Recognition of Taiwan
Haiti is one of thirteen sovereign states to recognise Taiwan as the legitimate government of China and has done so since 1956. Official diplomatic relations exist between Haiti and Taiwan, but not between Haiti and China.
Aid "competition"
Haiti has been described as "very vulnerable to foreign economic and political pressure", with humanitarian aid from China and Taiwan "turned into a game of politics". China has previously offered COVID-19 vaccines and interest-free loans in an attempt to persuade Haiti to shift their alliance towards the PRC-supported One China policy.
Trade
China has a trade office in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. Haiti also has a trade office in Beijing, the capital of China.
