Consulate General of the United States, Shenyang

The Consulate General of the United States, Shenyang () is one of seven American diplomatic and consular posts in the People's Republic of China. It is located in Heping District, Shenyang, Liaoning.

History

The U.S. Consulate in Shenyang was opened in 1904. It was originally housed in two abandoned Chinese temples, "Temples 'Yi Kung Ssu' and 'Scwang Chen Ssu' located outside the Little West Commerce Gate." Sometime before 1924, the Consulate moved to No. 1 Wu Wei Lu, a building which used to house the Russian Consulate. At that time, the United States had several other Consulates in Northeast China, including in Harbin and Dalian. These appear to have been closed by World War II. The Shenyang Consulate was able to continue operations for most of the war but closed in 1949 after the new Chinese Communist Party authorities had imprisoned the remaining consulate staff in their offices for almost a year before expelling them. In 1984, five years after the United States recognized formally established diplomatic relations with the government in Beijing, the Consulate reopened; today it plays a key part in the management of the close relationship the United States has with northeast China.
