China has ordered the United States to shut its consulate in Chengdu as tensions continue to grow between the two superpowers. The New York Times described the Chengdu consulate as the most valuable U.S. diplomatic outpost for gathering information on Tibet, as well as Xinjiang, where China has detained Uyghur Muslims in large internment camps. Earlier this week, the Trump administration ordered the closing of China’s Consulate in Houston. Meanwhile, China’s foreign ministry is accusing U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of “launching a new crusade against China.” During an address outside the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, Pompeo called on other nations to join the United States to fight the “new tyranny” in China.
