(Worthy News) – The U.S. ordered the Chinese Consulate in Houston, Texas, shut down because of the persistent problem of Bejing’s theft of U.S. intellectual property, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday.
“We are setting out clear expectations as to how the Chinese Communist Party is going to behave,” the top U.S. diplomat said at a news conference in Denmark.
China was given until Friday afternoon to close the Houston facility, which has about 60 employees, and President Donald Trump said more consulate closures were “always possible.”
The U.S. order was a sharp escalation of tensions between the United States, the world’s biggest economy, and No. 2 China. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
