Pope Francis has passed away at the age of 88. He had a strong interest in relations with China and expressed a desire to visit, viewing China as a "great nation." A major obstacle to diplomatic relations between China and the Vatican was the issue of "episcopal appointment rights." Despite a 2018 provisional agreement, full diplomatic relations were not established, marking an unfulfilled wish for the Pope.
