Security was tight outside the U.S. consulate in the Chinese city of Chengdu on Saturday as staff inside prepared to leave, a day after China ordered it to close in response to a U.S. order for China to shut its consulate in Houston.

Police, including many plain clothes officers, gathered outside and closed off the street to traffic. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the consulate had been “a hub of spying and intellectual property theft”. A steady stream of people walked along the street opposite the entrance throughout the day, many stopping to take photos or videos before police moved them on.
