BEIJING - The case of a Chinese official from the southwest city of Chongqing visiting a US consulate is an "isolated incident", a senior diplomat said on Thursday, as rumors spread that the official may have sought asylum at the consulate.

The diplomat, Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai, said the incident would not affect a visit to the US by Vice President Xi Jinping to the United States next week.

"I said that this issue was resolved and was resolved quite smoothly," Cui said at a news briefing in Beijing ahead of Xi's trip.

In Washington, the US State Department confirmed that Wang had visited the Chengdu consulate earlier in the week, but said that he had left the premises on his own accord.
