Embassies represent the image of a country, and in order to protect the security of the embassy, there are usually soldiers from the country standing guard and patrolling. A relatively powerful country like the United States has always insisted on sending Marines to protect it, with the exception of China.
In order to protect the security of the U.S. Embassy, the U.S. Embassy has U.S. Marines stationed all over the world, and the U.S. armed forces will follow almost wherever the U.S. Embassy goes.
However, only China is an exception, because although there are also US Marines in the US Embassy in China, these soldiers are different from other countries, and US Marines must meet this condition in order to enter the Embassy in China, and they can only wear US military uniforms in the embassy and bedrooms, and they are not allowed to carry weapons when they go out.
Why does the United States have no right to send troops with weapons to guard the embassy in China? In fact, all this was the efforts of the older generation, because the condition on which the mainland agreed to establish an embassy in China was that they were not allowed to send large troops to the embassy in China.
On the surface, it is natural for the US military to station troops in embassies in other countries, but it is not possible to do it only here in China, because China has long been oppressed by the Western powers, and the Western army has also been rampant and domineering on Chinese soil.
Generally speaking, the Chinese side is responsible for the security of embassies of other countries stationed in China, whether it is inside the embassy or outside the embassy, but unlike the U.S. Embassy, only the security outside the U.S. Embassy is the responsibility of China, and the security inside the embassy is still the responsibility of the U.S. Marine Corps. However, this US embassy guard unit that entered China could only appear in China as diplomats, which not only did not hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, but also saved enough face for the US side.
At the same time, the Chinese side has also limited the number of security guards at the US Embassy in China, and in order to further restrain these US military diplomats in China, all things with the US military logo are not allowed to be taken out of the embassy, such as US military uniforms, and weapons are even more expressly prohibited.
As one of the five permanent members, China's homeland security can naturally be guaranteed. In addition, the mainland is also the country that has done the best job in terms of land security, and the mainland strictly implements gun ban management, so even if lawbreakers want to carry out terrorist attacks on foreign embassies in China, it is difficult to find weapons.
Therefore, foreign embassies in China do not need to worry about security at all, and security can be fully entrusted to China's armed police force.
It is not only the mainland that protects the security of the US Embassy in China, but also the fact that the US Embassy in China is not allowed to station troops in China is for its own safety. Because no one knows what these heavily armed foreign soldiers will do, and if this group of people drinks or drugged, it will be a very big safety risk.
Looking at the whole world, there are probably very few countries that can allow Chinese soldiers to guard the front of the US Embassy, and even the security personnel of the US Embassy in Russia are US soldiers.
You know, if a soldier of any country dares to bring weapons into the country, we are tantamount to an invasion. China's territory is sacrosanct.
