The move comes as political tensions between the world's two largest economies continue to escalate.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said the directive to close China's Consulate General Houston had been made to protect American intellectual property and the private information of its citizens.

She added that Washington would not tolerate the People's Republic of China's violations of U.S. sovereignty and intimidation of our people, just as we have not tolerated the PRC's unfair trade practices, theft of American jobs, and other egregious behavior.

We cannot always blame China or Russia for everything that we are responsible about protecting here in the US. God & HIS Holy Angels say that It is best to reopen the consulate immediately. Chineese people are good people to be able to work things out with them Respectfully!!!

This is crazy!

Very good

Excellent decision by US ... end of china ChinaVsWorld globaltimesnews

It is a big mistake to accentuate the tensions between the USA and CHINA. Not only will it not help any of the contenders but it will worsen the economic recovery of both. Trump Houston

U.S. has been making accusation against others but so far has not able to produce any evidence to back its claims. Same as what they did in invading Iraq. The freedom of speech advocated by U.S. means one can be irresponsible to attack another and not held accountable. Disgrace !
