China accuses US diplomats in Chengdu of interference - Prensa Latina

Beijing, Jul 24 (Prensa Latina) China on Friday accused the officials from the Consulate of the United States in Chengdu of perpetrating acts of interference alien to their diplomatic duties, shortly after it announced the closure of that office.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Wang Wenbin said that his Government had repeatedly sent notes of protest to the US Embassy here, because several officials from that mission interfered in the country's internal affairs.

The spokesman revealed the information after the operations of the Consulate in Chengdu were suspended on Friday morning in reciprocity for a similar action taken by Washington against the Chinese Consulate in Houston, exacerbating tensions between the two powers.

The Foreign Ministry informed the US Embassy about the revocation of the license for the consulate, economic activities and all the functions of the diplomatic mission, which must be closed in 72 hours.

According to the spokesman, the United States caused this incident with its unilateral and surprise decision to close the Chinese Consulate in Houston, an action that he described as a serious violation of international protocols and treaties.

China also called on the White House to take a step back in its decision to close the Chinese Consulate in Houston and to create the conditions necessary to normalize bilateral relations.
