The blast rocked the site after a man reportedly threw a homemade bomb into the gated area, according to local media.

Chinese media say witnesses have reported the man intended to be hurl the explosive into the embassy but it exploded before he could get it over the fence, injuring people and a police car in its path.

Odd timing. No other China disturbances going on - other than the trade “wars” being hyped by ABCNNBCBS. Hard to figure another country (NK, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghan ...) would go into China to create violence against US there, on Chinese soil.

Other articles talked about a potential female self-immolator: “There were earlier reports that police had taken away a woman who had tried to set herself on fire near the embassy at 11am local time, several hours before the reported blast.” https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-44963700

Not huge. Evidently small, and only injured perp. All clear sounded.

Here is CNN's report.

“Huge blast” makes it sound like there’s nothing left of the building

We want to continue to loot the U.S. Yankee. We get angry when you get smart. We like U.S.A when it was stupid.
2 for us, 1 for Yankee. Been that way long time. You like!

Chinese cops will enjoy talking to him

This brings shame on them

They don’t like that

Interesting. In the past, at least, Chinese sappers were trained precede infantry to throw satchel charges (about the size of a small ruck) on a wire obstacle on an Army perimeter. Either that, or they did so while intending to go further. ...usually a couple of them. Plans did tend to fall apart in commie assaults. Fancy tactics in plans turned into chaotic human waves at assault time.

This is the aftermath of the "HUGE blast" that "Rocked the building".

Security personnel are clustered around the site of the explosion - note the fresh leaves on the ground, which were blown from the tree. This was basically fireworks - not high explosives.

Thanks for posting. Has anyone considered these “attacks” to be a Brennan era alt-CIA lone wolf magnifying the US media-fed “trade war”?

[central_va]

The trade war gets physical?

[GOPJ]

“Things actually seem to be going back to normal here. People are lining up again for visas etc. This would probably suggest it wasn’t all that serious.”

All Clear...
