China's consulate in Houston had long been on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's radar as a base for Chinese efforts to steal U.S. intellectual property, the U.S. Justice Department's top national security official said on Wednesday.

In a discussion presented by a Washington think tank, John Demers, the Assistant U.S. Attorney General for National Security, said that Houston was “not chosen at random” when the administration of President Donald Trump last month moved to shut down the consulate. Demers said a major U.S. government concern leading to recent moves to curb use of China’s TikTok app was that Americans are giving the app access to sensitive personal data, sometimes including personal contact lists and location data.
