Chinese embassy urges US to adopt steps to protect safety of staff

Remarks by Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the US on Anti-China Thugs Harassing the Embassy

Q: Lately, some people have been harassing the Chinese Embassy in the United States. Please provide more information.

A: Over a long period of time, abetted and organized by anti-China forces, some anti-China thugs have been harassing the Chinese Embassy in the United States at its various locations. They have been constantly attacking China and the Communist Party of China at high volumes, insulting and intimidating the Embassy staff, fabricating and spreading disinformation, and even resorting to violence.

Their actions have seriously damaged China's image and dignity, significantly disturbed the normal operation of the Embassy, and posed grave threats to the safety of the Embassy and its staff. The Chinese side has lodged stern representations with the US side for numerous times. But these anti-China thugs have not been stopped, but gone even more reckless. The Chinese side demands that the US side earnestly implement the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and adopt effective measures to protect the dignity and safety of the Chinese Embassy and its staff.
