Genuine questions:

1. Do diplomats normally lose immunity after an embassy is demoted to a consulate (or something of a lower status)? 2. Did China have a history of detaining diplomatic personnel, disregarding their immunity?

Diplomats only lose immunity a certain time after being declared persona non grata.

China doesn't have such a history.
