Bush Reflects on Solid Foundation of U.S.-China Relations

New U.S. Embassy opens in Beijing

Washington -- The new U.S. Embassy complex in Beijing reflects the solid foundation underpinning U.S.-Chinese relations, President Bush says, and "is a commitment to strengthen that foundation for years to come."

The $434 million, eight-story embassy is the second largest U.S. diplomatic post in the world after the new compound in Baghdad.  The 500,000-square-foot (46,000-square-meter) structure is situated on 10 acres (four hectares) in the new diplomatic zone and is enclosed in free-standing, transparent and opaque glass.  It was designed with traditional Chinese elements that include narrow walkways lined with bamboo that link diplomatic "neighborhoods."  >>more
