Why did the US decide to close China's council ?



 The Trump administration has taken a major step against China and ordered the closure of its consulate in Houston (Texas).

 China has been given 72 hours for this, that is, China will have to close the consulate by Friday.

"The decision to close the Chinese consulate in Houston was taken to protect US intellectual property and the personal information of its citizens," said Morgan Tartags, a spokesman for the US State Department.

 He alleged that 'China was doing anti-country activities in America through this embassy'.

 But China has also said 'retaliatory talk' by showing aggressive attitude.  The Chinese Foreign Ministry has said that 'we urge the US government to cancel its unfair decision immediately.'
:Earli there were some reports in US media that a large amount of documents are being burnt inside the Chinese Council.

 On Tuesday, some unknown persons inside the building were also filmed who were setting fire to some big boxes full of papers.  After this, he saw the fire rising, tried to extinguish it by adding water.  Houston police tweeted that 'one of their teams had gone there, but they were not allowed inside the embassy.'

 The police had also confirmed smoke from inside the embassy.  But the Chinese Foreign Ministry did not comment on this, instead said that 'everything is normal and is going on as before'.

 Only after this incident, this statement came from the Trump administration at the consulate.

 Earlier on Tuesday, a US department alleged that 'China is sponsoring some hackers to target laboratories developing Kovid-19 vaccine'.

 Why the decision to close the consulate?

US State Department spokesman Morgan Ortagas has given some reasons behind the closure of the consulate.

  We will not allow them to violate our country," he said
 An does not tolerate intimidation of the people living in our land
 Becaus we know from China's bad dealings

 Morgan Ortagus also pointed to the Vienna Convention under which the guest country has been given the important responsibility of not interfering in the internal affairs of the host country.

 This Houston-based consulate is one of five Chinese consulates in the United States.  Apart from these, there is the main embassy of China in Washington.

 It is not yet clear why the Trump administration targeted this one consulate.

What will be the GDP after Covid-19 in India

  When 60-year-old Milind Ketkar returned home after spending almost a month in hospital fighting Kovid-19, he felt the worst was over.   People had to take him to his third floor flat because there was no elevator in his building.   He spent the next few days experiencing constant shortness of breath and weakness.  When he did not start to feel better, he was admitted to the PD Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai.  Lancelot approached Pinto, where he was treated.   Mr. Ketkar, who thought he had recovered from the virus, was in shock.   Dr Pinter Pinto called it an inflammation of the lungs due to Cofid-19, which gave him deep vein thrombosis, which occurs when blood clots form in the body, often in the legs.   Fragments can break and move the body into the lungs, blocking blood vessels and this can be fatal if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, Pin Pinto said.
