China- USA War
tit-for-tat.


[China has ordered the US to close its consulate
in the city of Chengdu as tensions continue
to mount between the two countries.
The latest tit-for-tat escalation comes days
after Washington told Beijing to cease its
operations at the Chinese consulate in Houston
after the US accused Chinese agents
of trying to steal medical and other research in Texas.

The United States has an embassy in
the Chinese capital Beijing and consulates in five
other mainland cities - Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu,
Shenyang and Wuhan - while it also has a consulate in Hong Kong.
Beijing said the action taken in the
southwestern city of Chengdu was
"a legitimate and necessary response".]
