UPDATE: On January 4th, 2026, a security guard contracted by the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles was arrested by U.S. law enforcement after pepper-spraying peaceful pro-Taiwan and pro-democracy protesters outside the consulate building.
Videos and witness accounts circulating online show the uniformed guard deploying pepper spray at close range into a crowd gathered on a public sidewalk, prompting local police to intervene and take him into custody on the scene.
Reports indicate he was working for a private security contractor retained by the consulate and that he is a Chinese national employed by JK Patrol SVC.
On January 6th, 2025, he was reportedly released from police custody with seemingly no charges filed against him despite being clearly in violation of California Penal Code Section 22810, which makes it unlawful in California for a private person to use pepper spray unlawfully against another.
From a legal standpoint, the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations does not provide blanket immunity for locally hired guards or private security contractors, especially when actions occur in public spaces. Only accredited consular officers enjoy limited functional immunity, and even that immunity does not cover violent acts unrelated to official consular duties.
Because the pepper spraying occurred on a public sidewalk, U.S. criminal law applies, and Los Angeles authorities were legally empowered to arrest the guard without consulting federal authorities or the State Department. Claims of diplomatic protection do not extend to the use of force against civilians exercising First Amendment rights on U.S. soil.
