A State Department explanation to The Associated Press communicated frustration, saying the office “has stood as the center point of our relations with the individuals in Western China, including Tibet, for a long time.”
“We are disappointed by the Chinese Communist Party’s choice and will endeavor to proceed with our effort to the individuals in this locale through our different posts in China,” the announcement said. China’s foreign ministry gave a short notification saying “competent authorities” entered through the front passage and assumed control over the premises after U.S. representatives shut it at 10 a.m.
