TIL Desk/World/Washington/ The United States does not rule out the possibility of closing more Chinese diplomatic missions in the country, Donald Trump has said, hours after Washington ordered the closure of Beijing’s consulate in Houston to “protect American intellectual property and private information”.
The US move came amid a growing number of disputes between the two countries over Beijing’s increasingly aggressive actions that have led Washington to take strong actions, including closing the consulate in Houston, according to senior Trump administration officials.
The consulate in Houston, Texas, is one of five Chinese diplomatic missions in the US, not counting the embassy in Washington, DC. The US move came after the Justice Department said that hackers working with the Chinese government targeted firms developing vaccines for the coronavirus and stole hundreds of millions of dollars worth of intellectual property and trade secrets from companies across the world.
