History
Sweden's first envoy to China was the minister in Tokyo, Japan, Gustaf Oscar Wallenberg. In April 1907, Wallenberg was in Beijing to have the Treaty of Canton (1847) between Sweden–Norway and China amended and to establish diplomatic relations between Sweden and China.

During the 1920s and 1930s, legation counselors from the Swedish legation in Tokyo where based in Beijing and served as acting chargé d'affaires. From 1933, the holder of the consul general position also acted as the chargé d'affaires in the Republic of China. Johan Beck-Friis (1890–1969) became Sweden's first resident envoy to China on 1 July 1937.

In 1947, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Nationalist governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.
