History
On May 23, 1931, the Holy See established the Harbin Apostolic Administration, separating it from the Vladivostok Diocese .
In 1959, the Chinese authorities created a single church structure of the Chinese patriotic church with a center in Harbin, combining the Heilongjiang Diocese and the Harbin Apostolic Administration.
Currently, the ordinator of Harbin's canonical apostolic administration is the apostolic prefect of the apostolic prefecture of Qiqihar , which is not recognized by the Chinese government.
