Diplomatic Missions In Beijing
Diplomatics (in American English, and in most anglophone countries), or diplomatic (in British English), is a scholarly discipline centred on the critical analysis of documents: especially, historical documents. It focuses on the conventions, protocols and formulae that have been used by document creators, and uses these to increase understanding of the processes of document creation, of information transmission, and of the relationships between the facts which the documents purport to record and reality. The discipline originally evolved as a tool for studying and determining the authenticity of the official charters and diplomas issued by royal and papal chancery (medieval office), chanceries. It was subsequently appreciated that many of the same underlying principles could be applied to other types of official document and legal instrument, to non-official documents such as private Letter (message), letters, and, most recently, to the metadata of electronic records.

Since Xi Jinping became the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (''de facto'' paramount leader) in 2012, censorship has been "significantly stepped up".
