Washington: There are disputes between the US and China. First the US asked China to close the consulate in Houston, Texas state city, then in response, China asked the US to close its consulate in Chengdu on Friday. On Saturday, US federal agents and officers of law enforcement agencies entered the Chinese consulate complex in Houston. Locksmiths were also present with them.
Apparently the deadlock between the two countries has continued since the Trump administration ordered the closure of the Chinese consulate in Houston this week, accusing it of economic espionage. The Chinese Consulate has been in the busy Montrose Boulevard area of Houston for the past 40 years. The Trump administration closed it on Friday evening. The Chinese flag and the state emblem were removed on Friday from the embassy building. The staff of the consulate was seen taking out their belongings from the building in the morning.
According to CNN's report, as Chinese diplomats vacated the building, a large number of black SUV cars, trucks, two white vans and a lock fixer van entered the building complex. China's Foreign Ministry in Beijing reacted to this and said that it has expressed strong opposition and dissatisfaction against the forceful entry of American law enforcement officers in the consulate. Along with this, a diplomatic protest has also been registered.
