People stopped, jamming a sidewalk busy with shoppers and families as moving trucks and vehicles with diplomatic plates pulled out of the U.S. Consulate
THOMAS PETER/Reuters
People stopped to take selfies and photos, jamming a sidewalk busy with shoppers and families with strollers on a sunny day in the city of Chengdu. A little boy posed with a small Chinese flag before plain clothes police shooed him away as foreign media cameras zoomed in. Uniformed and plain clothes officers kept watch on both sides of the barriers after scattered incidents following the Chengdu announcement on Friday, including a man who set off firecrackers and hecklers who cursed at foreign media shooting video and photos of the scene.
Earlier, a bus left the consulate grounds and what appeared to be embassy staff spoke with plain clothes police before retreating back behind the property’s solid black gates. It wasn’t clear who or what was on the bus.
