Embassies and consulates are considered legal territories of their home countries - so it didnt actually happen in America, it happened on Chinese soil.

  No it didn’t.
  
  Contrary to popular belief, diplomatic missions sometimes do not enjoy full extraterritorial status and are generally not sovereign territory of the represented state. The sending state can give embassies sovereign status but this only happens with a minority of countries.[13] Rather, the premises of an embassy remain under the jurisdiction of the host state while being afforded special privileges (such as immunity from most local laws) by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

    “generally not” and “are not” are two completely different things.
