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.
