context_page_description: The Consulate General of the United States in Wuhan is one of the seven American diplomatic and consular posts in the People's Republic of China.
  First established in 1861, the U.S. Consulate General in Wuhan reopened in 2008 at its present location at 568 Jianshe Avenue in New World International Trade Tower I. It is the smallest consulate of the United States in China, providing emergency services to U.S. citizens in the region and promoting economic and cultural exchanges. On June 8, 2012, Gary Locke, the former U.S. ambassador to P.R.China, announced that the Consulate-General in Wuhan would be expanded to include full consular and visa services.
