China to close US consulate in Chengdu
06:10, 23 JULY 2020
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) reports that China is said to close the US consulate in Chengdu, in the face of the "retaliation over Houston".
Key quotes
China is moving to close the US consulate in the southwestern city of Chengdu in retaliation for the forced closure of the Chinese diplomatic facility in Houston on Tuesday.
The strategically important diplomatic outpost will be closed by Chinese authorities.
Washington maintains five consulates on the Chinese mainland – in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenyang, Chengdu and Wuhan – as well as a consulate general for Hong Kong and Macau.
This will likely escalate the ongoing tensions between the two countries. China vowed retaliation after the US closed its Houston consulate on Tuesday, to “protect Americans’ intellectual property and private information”.
