Police had shut the street and sidewalk in front of the consulate and set up barriers along the sidewalk on the other side of the tree-lined road.
Earlier, a bus left the consulate and what appeared to be embassy staff spoke with police before retreating back behind the property's solid black gates. It wasn't clear who or what was on the bus.
Three medium-size trucks arrived and left a few hours later, and cars with diplomatic plates departed in between. China ordered the closing of the Chengdu consulate in retaliation for a US order to close the Chinese Consulate in Houston.
