The current U.S. Embassy in Beijing was opened and dedicated on August 8, 2008, by U.S. President George W. Bush[3] and is the third largest American diplomatic mission in the world, after the Embassy of the United States, Baghdad and the Embassy of the United States, Yerevan. The U.S. embassy had its origins in 1935 when the legation was upgraded into the embassy in Nanjing. However, the central government of the nationalists was relocated to Taipei in 1949 due to the Chinese Civil War and the embassy was reopened in 1953. On January 1, 1979, the embassy was transferred to Beijing after normalizing relations with the communist government on the mainland.[4]

The Шаблон:Convert, eight story facility incorporates a great deal of free-standing transparent and opaque glass in its design. It is located on a Шаблон:Convert plot of land. The embassy warehouse is located in the Beijing Tianzhu Airport Industrial Zone in Shunyi District.[5]

Since the embassy is legally out of reach of the Government of China, it was used as the hiding place of Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng after he escaped from house arrest.[6]
