China’s flag and the seal have been taken down from outside the Consulate General of China in Houston on Friday.
In the Chinese city of Chengdu, in southwestern Sichuan province, some two dozen police were stationed in front of the US consulate as onlookers took photos before being prodded to move along, with the deadline for the Americans to vacate unclear. Underscoring the point, on Friday the Justice Department announced that a Singaporean “political consultant” based in Washington had pleaded guilty to recruiting American targets for Chinese intelligence.
Foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told reporters that some US staff in the Chengdu consulate, near Tibet, “were engaged in activities outside of their capacity, interfered in China’s internal affairs, and endangered China’s security and interests”. “Today, China is increasingly authoritarian at home, and more aggressive in its hostility to freedom everywhere else,” Pompeo said.He accused Chinese President Xi Jinping of being a “true believer” in the “bankrupt” totalitarian Marxist-Leninist ideology.
