If you want to go to Canberra, or send a lot of materials to Canberra, the editor gives up every time he thinks about it, and he is really lazy.
But this time, the Chinese consulate is going to set up in South Australia and no longer have to go all the way to Canberra!
First of all, the difference between consulates and embassies (many people don't know what the difference is).
Embassies (embassies)
It is a permanent diplomatic representative office stationed in the capital of a country establishing diplomatic relations. The Embassy represents the interests of the whole country and is fully responsible for the relations between the two countries. The head of State is the Ambassador, appointed by the head of State and acting as the representative of the head of State.
The embassy's primary responsibility is to represent the contributing country and promote political relations between the two countries, followed by the promotion of economic, cultural, educational, scientific and technological relations. Embassies are usually under the direct leadership of the government and the diplomatic service.
There is only one embassy and there may be more than one consulate. Embassy authority is higher than consulate, the scope of duty is all over the country, consulate is only responsible for the area under its jurisdiction.
Consulate
It is the general name of the consular representative office of a country in a certain city of another country. There are consulates general, deputy consulates, etc., who are responsible for the administration of local nationals and other consular affairs.
The main duties of consulates are to promote relations between the two countries and people, as well as consular work, such as safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of their citizens and legal persons, issuing or extending passports to their citizens, issuing visas to foreign citizens, and so on.
Consulates usually receive dual leadership from diplomatic departments and embassies of the host country, which have consular functions at the same time.
If the two countries break off diplomatic relations, the embassy will certainly be withdrawn, but not necessarily the consulate.
Embassies cover all regions of the country, while consulates are only responsible for the areas under their jurisdiction.
Many countries have only embassies and no consulates in other countries.
The establishment of consulates and consulates at which level depends mainly on the number of expatriate and consular operations and the importance of the area in which they are located, and is carried out in accordance with the principle of reciprocity.
The principal officials in the embassy are ambassadors, ministers and charg é d'affaires. The principal officials of the consulate are the consul general, vice consul and so on.
What is the purpose of the Chinese consulate taking root in south Australia?
This will not only promote South Australia's economic exchanges with China, but also attract more Chinese investors, but also help South Australia to import and export trade with China. Many Chinese investors are no longer limited to Melbourne and Sydney.
When South Australia opens a consulate, it can take charge of consular business from within its jurisdiction (the consul-general used to travel to Sydney, Melbourne to handle business).
The number of Chinese immigrants to Australia has doubled over the past decade, according to an analysis by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The new location of the consulate
The South Australian Health Bureau says it was bought by the Chinese Consulate as the center of the South Australian Drug Rehabilitation Centre, which was located before 90 / 92 Fourth St,.
Previously sold in the housing market, the 5600-square-meter mansion is worth 5 million Australian dollars (China is the trench!)
You can buy a super mansion in 5 million Australian dollars.
Like Aunt Maotao (the following is not the Chinese Consulate General, but a photo of the editor looking for the right price on the Internet, for fantasy YY only).
There is no picture of the 90 / 92 Fourth St online, and the editor wants to see what the Consulate General really looks like.
However, the editor also wants to say that the land is bought, but according to the progress of to O, I do not know the year and month.
