U.S. Consulate in city of Chengdu in the Sichuan Province of China, on July 23, 2020. The United States is responsible for all this," the ministry said. "We once again urge the United States to immediately retract its wrong decision and create necessary conditions for bringing the bilateral relationship back on track." "Alongside the eviction of the Houston Chinese Consulate, the risk of the U.S.-China conflict escalating into a 'Cold War' is worrying," said Hayaki Narita of Mizuho Bank in a report. The United States has an embassy in Beijing and consulates in five other mainland cities - Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenyang and Wuhan.
