A bus pulls out of U.S. Consulate General in Chengdu

At 9:45 a.m. Beijing Time on Sunday, a bus pulled out of the U.S. Consulate General in Chengdu, according to a CGTN reporter.

It was hard to determine how many people were on board, the reporter said, adding that the bus arrived at the consulate on Saturday afternoon.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry on July 24 informed the U.S. Embassy in China of its decision to withdraw its consent for the establishment and operation of the U.S. Consulate General in Chengdu. 

The ministry also made specific requirements on the ceasing of all operations and events by the consulate general, said the ministry in a statement.
