The U.S. directed the closure of the consulate on Tuesday. The Chinese government said Wednesday morning that they had been instructed to do so without warning, but Rubio claims the move was "long overdue."
"#China’s Houston consulate is a massive spy center, forcing it to close is long overdue," he said, describing it as a "central node" of the Chinese Communist Party's spy operations.
"This needed to happen," he tweeted.
China called the closure an “unprecedented escalation" by the United States and threatened to retaliate, according to the South China Morning Post.
“China demands the U.S. revoke the wrong decision. If the U.S. went ahead, China would take necessary countermeasures,” said Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin.
State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said in a statement to Fox News that the closure directive was issued "to protect American intellectual property and Americans' private information.”
The U.S. "will not tolerate the PRC’s violations of our sovereignty and intimidation of our people, just as we have not tolerated the PRC’s unfair trade practices, theft of American jobs, and other egregious behavior," she added. "President Trump insists on fairness and reciprocity in U.S.-China relations."
Documents were burned inside the consulate’s courtyard Tuesday evening, KPRC-TV in Houston reported.
"You could just smell the paper burning,” a witness told the station. “But, all the firefighters were just surrounding the building. They couldn’t go inside.”

Mystery seeds from China are landing in Americans' mailboxes
Updated on: July 29, 2020 / 7:45 PM / CBS/AP
The USDA and agriculture officials across the U.S. have issued warnings about unsolicited shipments of foreign seeds and advised people not to plant them. Officials are concerned the mystery seeds, which appear to have originated in China, could be invasive plant species.
Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles said earlier. The types of seeds are unknown and could be harmful, he said, stressing they should not be planted.
"We don't know what they are, and we cannot risk any harm whatsoever to agricultural production in the United States," he said. "We have the safest, most abundant food supply in the world and we need to keep it that way."
"Unsolicited seeds could be invasive and introduce unknown diseases to local plants, harm livestock or threaten our environment."
"Pls don't plant seeds from unknown origins!" the agency tweeted.

Toronto woman mystified by bag of seeds in her mail — so are federal officials worried about invasive species
The small grey package struck Java D'Ignazio as unusual — it was very thin, had no customs documentation and a strange scribble over where the sender is supposed to sign. She thought maybe one of her children sent her a gift in the mail.
Canadian Food Inspection Agency probing at least 350 reports of unsolicited packages of seeds.
It had her correct name, address and phone number and said the contents were one studded earring valued at $4.91. But when she opened it, she found a small bag of tiny, reddish-brown seeds, apparently sent from Singapore.
D'Ignazio is just one of hundreds Canadians who have received similar packages of seeds. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says it knows of at least 350 cases and it believes there are many more. The agency is worried the seeds might belong to an invasive species or introduce harmful pests to the country.

In China a man can expect to live for 76 upping the retirement age to 65 means the average guy can expect to enjoy over 10 of their golden years ... average life expectancy of a man in Trini is 68 and we are talking about making the retirement age 65 ... That brings new meaning to the words work till you dead.
As for Men and Women being treated differently that is a fact all this feminist BS about living in a patriarchy is crap it is only the elite the 1% that determine how things go for the vast majority of us who largely happen to men. Men world over are regarded disposable a war to fight, a dirty, dangerous or thankless job to do there is always a simp i mean man for the job.
