The Order of Republic (Chinese: 共和国勋章, pinyin: gònghéguó xūnzhāng) is the People's Republic of China's highest order of honour. On December 27th, 2015, the National People's Congress passed a law establishing two national orders, the Order of Republic and the Order of Friendship, constituted on January 1st, 2016. It is unknown whether the Order of Republic can be awarded to foreigners or not, but the Order of Friendship is exclusively reserved for foreigners.[1][2]
