US-China relations deteriorated in a Cold War-style standoff Friday as Beijing ordered a US consulate to shut in retaliation for the closure of its Houston mission -- accused of being a hub for espionage and intellectual property theft. Chinese officials were seen loading large sacks of objects and documents onto U-Haul trucks and tossing more into dumpster bins at the country's large mission in the Texas city, given a Friday deadline to vacate the building. After the last of Beijing diplomats departed, law enforcement cordoned off the area and US officials were seen entering the consulate after using tools to force open a door.
