The management authority and job responsibilities of embassies and consulates are different. The embassy is the administrative organ of a diplomatic representative established by a country in Beijing, the capital of the country where diplomatic relations are established. The embassy means the interests of the whole country and is fully responsible for bilateral relations. Its curator is a special envoy, and the president, as a model of the president, has done his work well. The primary duty of the embassy is to stay in the country and promote political relations between the two countries, followed by promoting economy, culture and art, culture and education, high technology and so on. The embassy also has the duties of a consulate.

The embassy also has the duties of a consulate. The main duty of the consulate is to promote bilateral relations and cultural exchanges. Its most basic duty is to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of China citizens and legal persons, issue or extend passports and visas to China citizens, and issue visas and consular certification services to China citizens abroad.
The addresses of the embassy and consulate are different. The embassy is usually located in the capital of a country with diplomatic relations, and the consulate is located in a big city of another country. For example, most countries that have diplomatic relations with us have embassies in Beijing. There are two embassy districts in Beijing, one is Jianguomen and the other is Liangmaqiao, where the embassies of countries with diplomatic relations are concentrated. Moreover, Shanghai, Guangzhou, provincial capitals and big cities also expect many national consulates, such as American consulates in Guangzhou and Shanghai.
Consulates are the general name of consulates of one country in a city of another country, which means administrative organs. According to the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, consulates are divided into general consulates, general consulates, vice consulates and consular institutions. The consulate is responsible for the management of local overseas Chinese and other consular affairs, including visa issuance, document verification, overseas Chinese protection and assistance.
