China on Friday ordered the closure of the U.S. consulate in the western city of Chengdu in apparent retaliation for the Trump administration closing China’s Houston consulate over accusations of espionage.

The Trump administration says Chinese agents within the Texas consulate had been attempting to steal scientific data from facilities in the state, including the Texas A&M medical system.

Oh no you di’int.
quote:

After the order to close the Houston consulate, the State Department said the U.S. "will not tolerate the PRC’s violations of our 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. President Trump insists on fairness and reciprocity in U.S.-China relations."



China annoys me.

My little brother lived in Chengdu. Not sure he’s ever going to be able to go back.

Chengdu is apparently close to Tibet. They want us frozen out of the area before they take it over just like they did Hong Kong.

Houston(#4 metro) = Chengdu(#7 metro) ?

So, is Chengdu the Chinese Cheater and Choker sports town?

Huawei 5G must be really quick from the monitor to the dugout to the buzzer?

Get out every Chinese visa from the last 30 years working at any industry or university.

Hell, I'm convinced even Chinese restaurant owners are spies now, or at least just fronts to funnel American $$ into Chinese research.

The dude who used to run one of my favorite places was on the phone constantly with China and speaking Mandarin. He's long gone now since Wu Flu.

Good. Y'all stay the frick over in China and we'll stay the frick away from you. You make and sell your flimsy trash to Africans (whom you have black balled from entering into your country) and we'll make our own belts. With real one piece leather instead of two strips of glued together plastic.

My thought as well, which made me wonder just how many are there?

The people's Republic of China currently maintains one Embassy in Washington D.C., but also maintains 5 consulates-general in the following U.S. cities: New York, NY; Chicago, IL; San Francisco, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Houston, TX

Seriously? We call them our enemy yet we allow them in our home. Our government is absolute bullshite.

Houma Chinese Spy

Today is the 72 hrs trump gave them to leave Houston. Let's see if they pack up

I believe someone started a thread last night that the Houston consulate was operating as is and they weren't leaving.

That’s not how it works. If we close the consulate, it’s going to close and stop providing services. However I doubt we took the property away so China will still own it.

Whether the people go back depends on whether we ordered them to. I doubt it
