No surprise really.

China took over the premises of the U.S. consulate in the southwestern city of Chengdu on Monday, after ordering the facility to be vacated in retaliation for China's ouster last week from its consulate in Houston, Texas.

We need to end all trade with China and impose a trade embargo like the one we have with Cuba.

It will suck for us for a while, but China will suffer greatly.

Goota be because the Chines left the consulate in Houston. They no longer needed it. The building was abandoned. No Chines were forced out.

Taking over a US consulate and having it vacated is a whole different ball of wax.
