Ties between the United States and China have worsened sharply this year over a range of issues, from the novel coronavirus and telecoms gear maker Huawei to China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea and its imposition of a national security law on Hong Kong.The move was made “in order to protect American intellectual property and American’s private information”, State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement.
“We urge the U.S. to immediately revoke this erroneous decision. Should it insist on going down this wrong path, China will react with firm countermeasures,” he said. He said the United States had interfered with China’s diplomatic missions, including intercepting diplomatic pouches and confiscating Chinese items for “official use”. He did not specify whether the actions were related to the Houston consulate.A source with direct knowledge of the matter said China was considering closing the U.S. consulate in Wuhan, where the State Department withdrew staff and their families early this year amid the coranavirus outbreak that first emerged in the central city.
China should close US consulate and not get bullied by US

Let’s face it. Donald has the codes and he wants to go out with a bang.
He's trying to start a war one way or the other. War with China, civil war in the US, take your pick
Every time I see a crazy story going on in America it reminds me of an old Nostradamus show that said one prediction was that the USA and Russia would be ally’s in a war against China thinking of how could that ever come true back then was no way that can happen PeaceAndlove
Better to shut down the USA consulate in HK
Deflection and distraction. Don’t take your eye off the ball 🙂👍
What happened?
I once tweeted that China and U.S should cut ties. Is it coming to that? My reason we're,these two countries had misunderstood themselves. And Trump does not actually like China, because Trump does not benefit anything personal from China.
Firetrucks were seen outside the consulate and local media reported that documents had been burned in a courtyard at the building late on Tuesday
A dumpster fire. Literally.
The losers will burn and turn into ashes, the winners will burn and turn into coals. Both sides lose.
Maybe shutting down the U.S. consulate in Hongkong, Who knows
burning doument? what a joke, play a fire?
Brazen lies by State Department.
Trump needs an escalating conflict to mask its inability to respond to the epidemic.
Trump needs a distraction.
A real problem when US gov't cannot be trusted.
Why did the US government select Houston?
Wuhan Flew
Oh here we go Trump knows he is going to lose. So he will try to start a war to cover his own back.
Pompeo is a fascist
F . . k China
Happy to remove some U.S. organization in China.
Just pick one of the same level consulate and close it now!
Because they went to the Texas road house to many times?
I'm so sad to see the too many people seem not to be educated well, so that they cannot talk about things based on logical and science, which are the most valuable things in western culture. Which made Europe and USA great since 200 years.
By the way, is there any election coming in the USA and someone is trying to get the attention or move local & world's attention from real local issues to somethings that are not so relevant to day today Americans.
Part of Trump's strategy to shift blame for Trump's failed presidency to China, incite racism among American Patriots & reelect Trump for another destructive term? Working? Watch daily moves to shift blame to China? Shifting blame to others Trump's survival strategy always!
Two words: FUCK CHINA!
Play tic for tac is a no win game...that is how war starts.
