U.S Orders China To Close Houston Consulate

The U.S. State Department yesterday ordered the Chinese consulate in Houston, Texas, to be shut down. This is the first time this has ever happened since the U.S. and China established diplomatic relations 41 years ago.

Located on Montrose Blvd. in Houston, Texas, the Chinese consulate was the first consulate in the United States. The consulate office has served eight southern U.S. states. China is heavily invested in Texas and Louisiana because of the oil industry.

The Chinese consulate has been accused of being a spy center for the Chinese Government. China has called the ordered shut down an outrageous and unjustified move that will sabotage U.S.-China relations.

We are very worried about the world’s two largest economic powers coming to a dead end. Many right wing politicians would like to see the Cold War come back and eventually lead to military confrontation.

People around the world are still suffering because of the pandemic and economic slowdown. The federal government still doesn’t have an effective way to face this crisis.

The world needs a peaceful environment to improve our living standard. We need real leaders to lead us in the future.

               中美兩國衝突激烈

美國國務院通知中國駐休斯敦總領館在明天週五前要關閉，並撤走所有外交人員，這是中美建交四十一年來首次，也為中美全面對抗掀起巨浪。

設在休斯敦蒙族路的中國領事館是中美建交後第一個建立的總領事館，管轄美國東南八州， 中國大陸在美國之投資百分之六十以上都集中在德州南部，尤其以能源石油為主。

美國政府稱，關閉中國領事館是為了保護美國的智慧財產權及保障美國公民之私人信息。中國外交部表示，美國悍然強關中國使館，我們要做最坏的准備，並指責美方發起的政治挑釁 。

我們非常不願看到世界兩大经濟體正在走極端惡化之情勢，美國許多反華政客正在推動中美兩國脫勾， 進入冷戰時代 ，甚至發動軍事衝突。

綜觀世界情勢 ，疫情虐肆造成的经濟衰退及人心惶恐，政府無法拿出有效辦法，加上大選即將到來，实在令大家感到十分之恐慌及不安。
