TOKYO -- In a scene that evoked memories of Beijing's landscape as it was 19 years ago, a man from Inner Mongolia last week set off an explosive device, believed to be homemade, near the U.S. embassy in the Chinese capital.
The incident took place on the afternoon of July 26, with the U.S. and China engaged in a trade war. Details regarding the explosion remain unclear. Footage of the scene shows smoke rising from the vicinity of the embassy and a chaotic aftermath.
