So it’s the Houston consulate and not the “embassy,” which is in DC?

I was wondering if a burn ban might be their reason for outdoor burning, because they could.

Not the first time this has happened...from 2017...

Firefighters battle 2-alarm fire at Chinese Consulate in Houston

https://abc13.com/firefighters-battle-2-alarm-fire-at-chinese-consulate/2280896/

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Firefighters battled a two-alarm fire Sunday afternoon at the Chinese Consulate in Houston.

Authorities were called to the Chinese Consulate in the 3400 block of Montrose Boulevard around 1:30 p.m.

According to officials, the small fire started on the fifth floor of the building.

“It looks like we’re in the middle of Beirut or something. It’s kind of crazy. It looks like everybody is OK. I don’t see anyone in ambulances,” nearby business owner Steve Zimmerman said.

Firefighters said as many as a dozen people live on the floor that caught fire. All of them got out safely. The fire was contained to one room, but smoke and water damage could be seen throughout the building.

Checking all floors for fire and damage was a challenge for crews, given the diplomatic nature of the facility.

“There were some issues obviously due to security and we had a number of people that wanted to stay in the building, so there were some issues in trying to get people out,” Deputy Chief Blake White said. “They seemed to be concerned with certain areas of the building.”

Could be a lot of things. They are such a corrupt regime. Whatever it is/was they didn’t want anyone to see what it was about, that’s for sure.

Back in the cold war, my husband was stationed at an AFB in a foreign country and had to clean up after a camel that snacked on a bunch of shredded paper. Funny in retrospect, but NOT when it happened.

Interesting.

I found this tonite on Twitter: Not sure if true or why they might be evicted, but for what it’s worth:

You know, if they were doing this in their embassy in D.C. I’d think it a possible prelude to war...

I guess you're about to become Chinese. Make some cashew chicken for all of us. Steamed rice. Egg rolls.

The Chinese are getting evicted from the building they have to be out by 4pm Friday. The news guy who was reporting on this asked someone why they were being evicted and he was directed to ask the state department.

That's all I know. Saw the report on a twitter feed.

There you go! And the Democrats’ desire to defund police and other emergency services finally pays off!

Let them all burn to the ground. Everything Chinese..
buildings, etc.

Let’s invite the BLM and Antifa crowd! I’m sure they’ll be willing to lend a hand.

BTW This post is NOT meant to encourage violence towards people.

One more reason for the Republicans and Democrats to want to get President Trump out of Office. Turn back on the Red Chinese graft spigot. He hurt both the Republicans and Democrats when he shut off the graft money. It helped America but that is the last thing the politicians want to do. They want to destroy America.
