Benjamin Wang, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, said they were discussing with local officials on the future registration and direction.

According to Wang, the Chinese Ministry of Home Affairs (MCA) seems to be enforcing regulations that countries can only maintain an official chance room in this country.

Over a year ago, China asked to close the US Consulate in Chengdu, based on charging some employees here to act in accordance with the work position and damage the interests of the host country,

This is said to be a retaliate move after the former US President Donald Trump ordered the Chinese Consulate in Houston, Texas, to protect the American Intellectual Property and Personal Information
