US orders China to close Houston consulate.

Staff inside the Chinese embassy in Houston, Texas, have been caught burning papers and documents in a last minute rush after the US evicted China and ordered it close its consulate, accusing it of ramping up spying operations.

The announcement infuriated Beijing and dramatically escalating diplomatic tensions between the feuding superpowers, with China vowing to retaliate as the two countries squabble over a slew of issues ranging from trade to the coronavirus pandemic and China’s policies in Hong Kong, Xinjiang and the South China Sea.

Its about time that someone stand up to China. I'm tired of seeing our jobs and technology being stolen. Trump has been fighting in America's interest since he was elected. Jobs are coming back to America.

Let's hope that Aussies take similar measures, to protect jobs and intellectual property.

Trump is the only one standing up to China. If he loses in November we may all be lost to China.

There aren't many, but there are a few politicians with the backbone to stand against China. Ted Cruz has been pretty vocal. Ted is not welcome in China. Ted is who I voted for in the 2016 primary.

I hope they stand by Trump in November then because if Biden wins you'll all be speaking Mandarin by this time next year.

Some top people in Europe are taking a similar public stance
