Turkeys president says it remains open for all. And running out of oxygen in bolivia relatives of covert 19 patients are having to get their own supply. Back into the program chinas been accused of using its Diplomatic Missions for widespread spying across the United States and the u. S. Justice Department Says the consulate in houston was one of the worst offenders chinese staff are moving out of that consulate after washington told beijing to shut it down the u. S. Says its to protect American Intellectual property trying to Foreign Ministry called it an unjustified act and in retaliation beijing has ordered the american consulate in the southwestern city of chengdu to close and chinas most senior diplomat has blamed the u. S. For all of the current tension wangi says he still hopes that china and the u. S. Can reach a solution which benefits both countries well with more on these developments. On the chinese story and the research as arrest in. In the u. S. We can join our White House Correspondent can we help get kimberly you broke this news what just within the last hour about this arrest how significant is it in relationship to the sort of ongoing arguments that china and the u. S. Are having. Well the decision by u. S. Authorities to make this arrest is a marked escalation in tensions between the 2 sides now the United States alleges that this Chinese Researcher was concealing her ties to the Chinese Military in other words she was working allegedly as a biologist at the university of california davis but the United States says that she has committed visa fraud charges again suspected of what the United States has said is as part of a broader malign activity in conducted by china inside the United States now we know for least earlier on a couple of days ago she had been hiding out in the consulate in San Francisco following an interview with the f. B. I. Where she was essentially trying to get safe harbor but we understand now that she is in custody by u. S. Authorities and will be appearing in court in california now in the midst of all of this the United States has also been commenting on those tit for tat closures of consulates of course the u. S. Now saying that there was a closure out of the united are rather the chinese consulate in Houston Texas giving those officials there just 72 hours to clear out and that was responded to by chinese officials saying that the United States had to do the same for its consulate in chengdu now the National Security council of the white house issuing this statement saying the reason they took those actions to prompt the closure in houston was because china was using this consulate general not for processing visas but instead for conducting and using it as a house for illegal spying for influence operations the statement from the n. S. C. Is that this was taken to protect American Intellectual property americans private information and we urge the chinese. Communist party to seize these the line actions rather than engaging in tit for tat retaliation which the United States allege ledges is exactly what china has done complete does seem very interior at the moment what the endgame is here because the road ahead still requires china and the us to talk to each of them on several levels on a range of subjects that some of them they do or dont agree on but they still need to talk to each other hard to see how thats going to happen right at this moment in time. The United States says that they were trying to talk and it was china that made the decision not to be reciprocal in terms of the diplomatic relationship according to these white house officials that had a Conference Call with reporters this morning they said that they urged china to stop what they again call the line activities is that they met in new york city just last month they met with chinese officials again in hawaii prior to that they begged them essentially to look cease your behaviors were not getting the mutual reciprocity that we expect of our diplomats but they say that china made a decision to carry on and we should point out this is well the troubled ministrations taking this action we have long heard from democrats and republicans the broader concerns of intellectual property theft of backdoor espionage of china and its sort of the those that it has conducting these activities inside the United States the question was when to pull the trigger if you will on taking a stronger stance towards china this is something that this administration decided to do from the get go whether it was trade when donald trump came into office or now following the current cerns with covert 19 and the impact its had on the u. S. Economy its clear the United States has decided to take this head on we should point out in advance of an election where donald trump is hoping to win a 2nd term and it is a moving story on friday of course well continue to monitor it with you can believe from the white house thank you.

S. Officials who work here with they say have been engaged in activities that are not consistent with their capacity we also know that its close to getting an operation to the southwest of china deals with us this is nearby acts as an active listening post for events taking place and its a bet now the chinese Foreign Ministry has said that they do not want to do this or did not want to have to close the consulate here but they were false by the u. S. One year chinas top diplomat has laid the blame for the worsening ties between time and u. S.
