Omani Names Came to China
Omani-Chinese relations date back centuries before diplomatic ties were established on 25 May 1978. They flourished through Omani ports, most notably Sohar, Muscat, Sur and Mirbat, which were linked to Chinese ports, including Canton (Guangzhou), by five maritime routes. Key milestones included an Omani mission to the Chinese court around 1050 and the prominence of the merchant Abdullah bin al-Qasim in Guangzhou, where he held administrative posts, alongside the presence of Omanis in trade, scholarship and administration. Markets exchanged frankincense, incense, myrrh, dates, pearls, silk, ceramics and other goods. Imports of incense, frankincense and medicinal substances at some Chinese ports reached 353,049 jin, or approximately 176.5 tonnes.
