The Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China said the unidentified driver “violently” crashed into the building and posed a “serious threat” to the lives and safety of staff.
Facilities were also damaged, the consulate said.
“We condemn this violent attack and reserve the right to continue taking responsibility for the incident,” he said, noting it expressed diplomatic displeasure with the US.
