China need a new geopolitical Doctrine ?

According to the NY Times, China's consul general was caught giving documentation with fake birth dates to Air China at Houston's airport. Not sure what this is about. Houston is the center of a large Medical Center where they may be doing research on coronavirus (?)

Either way these amateurish attempts to skirt rules and regulations have got to stop. The other day there was a Chinese student who actually emailed the Chinese Embassy saying she was a PLA operative. As if that communication is not going to be intercepted. Then tried to delete it from her hard drive but forgot even fully deleted files can be recovered.

The real victims of all these are going to be ordinary Chinese people and others in the Southeast who need normal consular services like passports and bureaucratic paperwork, the Chinese American community, and friends of China in the US South region. I have always been clear. China's policy should be (a) gradually move towards deescalation and improve relations with countries overseas that are willing (b) understand foreign countries (c) grow the size of the Chinese population at home & the overseas population abroad.

The latter is very important as they can help China's exchanges, technological, and business development. Currently the situation is not good for overseas Chinese and not good overall towards these goals and heading in the wrong direction. It will be difficult for a long time.

I have found no U.S. media which reported on this diplomatic conflict. Only Reuters and Asia Times noted it.

China's request to test and to quarantine for fourteen days everyone who is coming from abroad is not unreasonable. New York, New Jersey and Connecticut

The NYT article is pure nonsense that anyone with some intelligent could see through the lies. However, many people don't seek truth but would rather believe anything anti-China no matter what. If that is what they came up with for justification of ordering closure of the consulate, then it shows that this is just a political attempt to help Trump election.

It is disguising that people would blame China for this. It is like someone beat the crap out you and you blame your parents for it. If those oversea Chinese people want China to sell out its national interest so they can have a better life in the West, then China is better without them. I am saying this as an oversea Chinese.

I didn't say the NYT was true. Just saying that's what they claim and I have no idea what it's about. Alternative theories is that it's related to the election (Texas is becoming a battleground state) and that it's related to US demands over the Wuhan consulate. Those are both possible. The reality is we don't know why this happened.

This is a publicity stunt, aimed at helping Trump with his campaign. If China strikes back by closing embassies in return, it will help Trump with its election campaign and not winning anything back.
