Maybe my coffee has not kicked in yet .... but it seems the article is one-sided propaganda - does not mention why the US demanded closure of Houston consulate.

I work down the street from that building. I don't watch the news much, but I did see a story about a fire at the consulate. Turns out the fire was a controlled fire in the which the Chi-coms were burning documents in large barrels.

Thanks for the report from the ground. That’s what I figured happened - the news reporting was disjointed, and it seemed more focused on a fire-call than on CN espionage.
