China recognizes neither same-sex marriage nor civil unions. Since 1 October 2017, same-sex couples have been able to sign guardianship agreements, which offer some limited legal benefits.
The same-sex partner of a Hong Kong resident is able to obtain a dependent visa. Same-sex spouses of government employees also receive the same spousal benefits, which includes medical care and joint tax assessment, as heterosexual spouses. Hong Kong courts have also ruled in favor of equal treatment for same-sex couples in terms of inheritance and parental recognition after the breakdown of the relationship.
