This Mission, with capable and motivated staff, is effectively managed. Morale throughout the Mission is very good. There is a sound committee structure in place and communications internally, as well as with the other China Missions, are effective. Mission Programs continue to grow, particularly the Immigration Program. The new Immigration Annex, which is only 18 months old, is already overcrowded. There are workload pressures in other Programs, specifically the GR and IBD Programs. Without a comprehensive resource review, however, it is difficult to assess if Programs are properly resourced. A vision of the long-term requirements for the Mission is needed to allow for effective planning. The Hub and Spoke Agreements between Beijing and the Consulates in Chongqing and Guangzhou need to be updated.
