China Furious After US Abruptly Orders Closure Of Houston Consulate Sparking "Unprecedented Escalation"

China's Houston consulate is a massive spy center, forcing it to close is long overdue.

Apparently, the incident occurred just as the US was ordering the abrupt closure of China's consulate in Houston, citing a need to protect American intellectual property and data.

"China urges the US to immediately rescind its erroneous decision, otherwise China will undertake legitimate and necessary responses."

Reuters is now reporting that China is considering closing the US consulate in Wuhan in retaliation.

The US asked China to close Consulate General in Houston in 72 hours.

The Foreign Ministry spokesman continued to hammer the US, saying China has always treated American diplomats 'with respect', while this isn't the first incident involving China's diplomatic personnel in the US. "In contrast, the US put restrictions on Chinese diplomats in June and last October, respectively, with no valid reason. [The US] has seized and opened mail and official supplies," Wang said.

According to information available online, the consulate "Was the first one to be established" in 1979 when the US and China official re-established diplomatic relations.
