With the Apostolic Constitution Quotidie Nos it was raised to the diocese on April 11, 1946. In 1981, with the restoration of the legitimacy of cults in China, the State Council of the People's Republic of China united the dioceses of Fushun, Jinzhou and Yingkou with the archdiocese of Shenyang to form the archdiocese of Liaoning.
