The latest move on behalf of the State Department to shutter a Chinese consulate in Houston over concerns of intellectual property theft should serve as a reminder that the Chinese are « not good actors » and proves their disregard of « all the values we hold dear, » Rep. Dan Crenshaw said Friday.
« What we know is that the Chinese have used consolates like this one, and this one might have been their primary hub, to engage in intellectual property [theft], hacking, influence operations, all of the above, » Crenshaw, R-Texas., told the « Fox News Rundown » podcast.
In a statement sent to Fox News, State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus confirmed the directive to shutter the consulate and said it was issued « to protect American intellectual property and Americans’ private information.
