quote:

U.S. officials were seen entering and setting up a presence around the former Chinese consulate in Houston after the diplomats there vacated under orders from the Trump administration. 



quote:

The US move seriously breached international law, the basic norms of international relations, and the terms of the China-US Consular Convention,” China’s foreign ministry said in a statement last week. “It gravely harmed China-US relations. The measure taken by China is a legitimate and necessary response to the unjustified act by the US. It conforms with international law, the basic norms of international relations, and customary diplomatic practices." 

Beijing ultimately responded by ordering the U.S. to close its consulate in the city of Chengdu.

The FBI also said this week it believes the Chinese consulate in San Francisco is harboring a Chinese researcher, Tang Juan, who is accused of lying about her connection to China’s military wing on a visa application

Local news showed a locksmith truck at the embassy to help US officials get in. Also said the bldg was vacated but somehow locked from the inside.

Still would love to see the OP’a link on the rioting.

If you click the link it takes you to the twitter handle and you can follow the events of today.

It also states what you said about the doors being locked from the inside and they needed to be broken.

I don’t why this made me laugh. Picturing them being all petty like that is just funny. Probably left some upper deckers and drew dick butt on the mirrors too.

Here you go:

quote:

US officials raided the Chinese consulate in Houston "used as Beijing espionage base to steal medical research."

A group of men who appeared to be American officials were seen forcing open a back door of the Chinese consulate in Houston just hours after a US government closure order for the mission took effect.

I don’t understand.

What motive would China have to release a flu like virus or cause civil unrest in our country?

I have ZERO doubt China has helped foment some of the domestic unrest, and ive been hoping for months to see something come to light.

But I don’t see crap about that in any of the links posted in this thread. And haven’t seen any reporting to indicate our government has publicly said anything at all on that front. All the reporting I’ve seen on the embassy closing has been about espionage and IP theft.

And you can bet your arse they’ve colluded with the Democrat Party and media. They have to dig into this.

We didn’t need this story to know that. Democrats, BLM, and Antifa has been colluding with communist for years now.

I want to be in this party but I need confirmation. If the Chinese were proven to be partcipating in domestic unrest what kind of retaliation does that warrant?
