Pompeo's move in Houston marks a new low in US statecraft
China DailyUS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks during a news conference at the State Department in Washington, on July 1, 2020. The US State Department's order on Tuesday to close the Chinese consulate in Houston, Texas, within three days is not only a major provocative move against China but also a new low in US diplomacy. The US Department of State claimed the closure order was issued in response to repeated Chinese violations of US sovereignty, including "massive illegal spying and influence operations". And a June poll by Washington-based Morning Consult shows that the vast majority of adults in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Spain view the US leader's pandemic response as "poor". People such as Aaron David Miller and Richard Sokolsky, both former State Department officials and now fellows at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, The Washington Post's deputy editorial page editor Jackson Diehl and The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, in their op-eds, have called Pompeo the worst secretary of state ever.
