The US Consulate General in the Chinese city of Chengdu was shut down on 27 July following an order from Beijing, according to the country’s Foreign Ministry.
Beijing lambasted the US’ «reckless provocation of confrontation» after ordering the closure of the American Consulate in Chengdu for meddling in its internal affairs.
The statement comes after the US administration ordered to close the Chinese Consulate in the state of Texas, accusing China of stealing American intellectual property.
In a reciprocal response, Beijing ordered the closure of the US Consulate.
