Usually, embassies are protected by the military of their own country. The United States has the largest number of embassies abroad in the world, so every year the United States sends a large number of soldiers to protect embassies abroad. Although the vast majority of embassies are guarded by the U.S. military itself, there is a very special one, not guarded by U.S. troops, but with the Plapuers Liberation Army responsible for security. That is, the U.S. Embassy in China, although it is the U.S. Embassy, is on The territory of China, so China has the final say. Here, the U.S. military can send staff, but not in military uniforms, only in regular uniforms. It is also forbidden to carry weapons, which makes the us military, which has always been arrogant, very uncomfortable.
Elsewhere, the U.S. military can even act recklessly, but on China's turf, they need to constantly restrain themselves, and in the 1970s, after the restoration of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the two sides built embassies in each other's countries. At first, the U.S. embassies, like the mainland embassies, sent soldiers to protect each other, and we didn't interfere too much at first. But then something happened that made the mainland no longer tolerate it. As we all know, there are large cultural differences between China and the United States, and American soldiers do not know how to restrain their behavior after they come to China. They thought they could do something unscrupulously, as they did in other countries. They constantly indulge their own behavior, but China is not used to them.
When the soldiers arrived in China, they found that there was almost no place to entertain, so they set up their own bar next to the embassy. Many American soldiers spend their time outside of work entertaining them. But after drinking many times, they even teased pedestrians on the mainland streets, and also drunk driving, speeding and other dangerous behaviors many times, which seriously threatened the safety of the people around the mainland. , also drunk driving. Such behavior seriously threatens the lives of the people around China. Just when the mainland decided to let them restrain themselves, something happened that made the mainland completely make up its mind, not to restrain, but to control.
An American soldier was drunk in a bar and got into an argument with a mainlander in the street. However, the soldier actually drew his gun directly at the residents, but fortunately, the People's Liberation Army arrived later to relieve the crisis. Since then, the mainland has also taken a resolute attitude, demanding that the US Embassy immediately expel the US soldiers from the mainland. The security of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing will henceforth be entrusted to the PLA. Later, Kissinger, who was the US secretary of state at the time, interceded, but the mainland did not back down in the slightest. After making the biggest concessions, the result was that american soldiers could continue to stay in the embassy in China, but as long as they were in China, they were not allowed to wear military uniforms, weapons, and still less to cause trouble. Since then, American soldiers have not dared to act recklessly when they arrived in China.
