वाशिंगटन, एजेंसी। अमेरिका और चीन के बीच शुरू हुआ टकराव चरम पर पहुंच गया है। अमेरिका ने चीन के खिलाफ कठोर कदम उठाते हुए बीजिंग को ह्यूस्टन स्थित महावाणिज्य दूतावास को 72 घंटे के अंदर बंद करने को कहा है। चीनी कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी की सरकार ने कहा कि अमेरिका ने ह्यूस्टन में महावाणिज्य दूतावास को बंद करने के लिए कहा है। ट्रंप प्रशासन के इस कदम से बीजिंग बुरी तरह भड़क गया है। उसके एक अधिकारी ने इस कदम को अपमानजनक और अनुचित बताया है।
