Chinese Consulate

A Chinese consulate is a diplomatic office representing the People's Republic of China in a foreign country. It handles various functions, including protecting the interests of Chinese citizens abroad, issuing visas, and promoting trade and cultural exchanges. Consulates are located in major cities, complementing the work of the Chinese embassy, which is usually in the capital. They provide assistance with legal issues, passport services, and emergency support for Chinese nationals, helping to foster good relationships between China and the host country.
