In an unprecedented move, the U.S. gave #China a three-day deadline to close its consulate in #Houston, Texas. China strongly condemned the behavior, urging the U.S. to reverse its decision or face countermeasures. Could China make the U.S. close its #Wuhan consulate in response? Will Trump's legacy be a new cold war with China?

They claim China has stolen secrets.  Does this mean the list of items the U.S. has stolen is a art of the deal talking point?  Where’s Syria oil?

I'm not Chinese and I have nothing against any country,race,politics ethnicity..  whatsoever. 
But to be fair to china,all I can see is US & its allies getting very jealous of Chinese in terms of country's early recovery from covid19 and Economy growth. That's it.

Each time US Trump gets the heat from their homeland covid situation, he will take it out on China.
US covid cases just reach new daily high. Previously, he took it out on Huawei.

Please close the Hong Kong consulate.  It has the most US agents and it also time to declare HK is a Chinese city.

It’s simple. This is  retaliation for sanctioning Ted Cruz, the senator from Texas where the closed Chinese consulate is.

One reason for this timing is to diminish the glow from the Chinese launch of its Mars probe Tianwen-1. The trump administration do not like being over-shadowed. Sore losers.

As I said in a previous video, that's just the next in the line smearing campaign against you by the current US neocon/religious fanatic/CIA regime China. Do not play their game, that's exactly what they want you to do. There will be a change of guard in a few months from now, so you should just wait Trump out.

China must be self-reliant on every possible high end technologies such as the mass production of civil, military aircrafts, their engines, CPUs, their operating systems, quantum computers. China must dramatically increase its military budget to 4.5% of its GDP, mass produce as many nuclear warheads and 096 nuclear submarines with intercontinental ballistic missiles as the US have done so far to deter the US from continuesly bullying China. The US understand only the speech of military strength.

I appreciate the China approach.
The US is panicking cause the virus just covers their real economical problem which comes more and more to daylight.
They try to make more and more frontline to cover up.
We all need just to wait and see ... we will find the end of the US economy soon.
So, Chine ... just relax ... the US problem will solve itself.

The US is afraid of China economy growth, which will eventually out growth the US, the purposes of all current situation events that is happening between the US and China is to slow down the Chinese economy growth and is to create a choice for other nations to choose side.

And what about US consulate in HK, wasn't Julie Eadere meeting with known separatist figures such as Joshua Wong Chi Fung & Nathan Law during the Riots in 2019 inside Hong Kong? We have pictures of them standing & talking together at the US consulate in HK last year, that is blatant interference of the US using its US consulate in HK for aiding succession of HK from China which is a clear violation of International Law & a violation of China's sovereignty & sovereign territory, and any stupid person would agree that the US would NEVER EVER allow for any independence activist to collude with a foreign consulate staff especially from China, Russia, so therefore all these idiots saying US has clear motive for doing this are stupid & denying simple facts, the US has no clear evidence, and even if the US did bring up evidence, i wouldn't believe it at all. How about China closes ALL US consulates in China including their consulates in HK? An eye for an eye. And don't bother deleting my comment Youtube, because i will repost it again & again & again.
