 The diocese was a remnant of the older Anglican Diocese of Victoria, part of the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui, China's autonomous Anglican church.The Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui was effectively abolished in 1949 during the Chinese Revolution due to the formation of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement.Anglicans in Hong Kong and Macau reorganized the diocese, which was essentially extra-provincial under the Archbishop of Canterbury.
