Embassy of the United States, Beijing
The Embassy of the United States in Beijing is the diplomatic mission of the United States in China. It serves as the administrative office of the United States Ambassador to China. The embassy complex is in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
Since the embassy is legally out of reach of the PRC Government, media reported it may have been the hiding place of Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng after he escaped from house arrest.
The current U.S. Embassy in Beijing is the third largest American diplomatic mission in the world, after the Embassy of the United States, Baghdad and the Embassy of the United States, Yerevan. The, eight story facility incorporates a great deal of free-standing transparent and opaque glass in its design. It is located on a plot of land. President of the United States George W. Bush dedicated the facility on August 8, 2008.
The embassy warehouse is located in the Beijing Tianzhu Airport Industrial Zone in Shunyi District.
