The move — coming as Secretary Pompeo declares U.S. policy on China a failure — follows the U.S. ordering the closure of the Chinese consulate in Houston
China on Friday ordered the United States shut its consulate in the city of Chengdu, the latest in a round of tit-for-tat measures as relations between the two powers deteriorate dramatically.
Chengdu, in Sichuan Province, is one of the biggest cities in western China. The U.S. consulate — opened in 1983 — covers the provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, as well as the Tibet Autonomous Region.Pompeo's comments at the Nixon Library in southern California Thursday emphatically underscored the United States' hardening stance.
Accusing the Chinese of stealing U.S. intellectual property and taking American jobs, Pompeo said the U.S. would now"act not on the basis of what Chinese leaders say, but how they behave." "That's equal to seeking regime change in China, so that's viewed as the greatest U.S. hostility in decades," Zhao told NBC News.
