Developing story -

US federal agents and local law enforcement entered the Chinese consulate compound in Houston Friday afternoon following Tuesday's order to close the diplomatic facility after US officials alleged it was part of a larger Chinese espionage effort using diplomatic facilities around the US.

How can they do that? It's still a Chinese consulate, an extension of sovereign China. Isn't it against the diplomatic norms and UN charter?

US can do that because US is a rogue nation.

It's not a consulate after the deadline. Its just another property like any other in US.

The Chinese cleared out before the deadline, so it's not like they stormed the place and evicted them.

They gave them 72 hours to close the consulate. It stops being Chinese land once status is revoked.

Spewing bs again to fit the personal agenda without actually knowing anyting .

Apparently the whole thing started with China not allowing American diplomats to carry documents in diplomatic pouch from consulate in Wuhan

This sets a bad precedent. The US started it. Others can and will follow. The US is a wild cowboy. Shredding international treaties and norms. Making a mockery of diplomacy. From climate change to diplomatic relations. Nothing has been spared. The US is a wild and crazy redneck trampling on everything in its way.

Spewing bs again to fit the personal agenda without actually knowing anyting . That's typical Indian scammer behaviour.

Lol. Interpreted like a typical Chinese scamster who can't read English. This relates to "severance of consular relations" - i.e. Consular relations have not been severed, only one consulate has been shut down.

I am hoping the US deep state and particularly Trump does something insanely crazy before the elections. Something that jeopardizes peace. It is possible with Trump.
