US closes consulate in Chengdu after Houston order

The US says it has closed its consulate in Chengdu, China. China ordered the consulate closed in retaliation for a US order to shut down the Chinese Consulate in Houston last week. State Department said the consulate suspended operations on Monday and expressed disappointment at China's decision. The US would try to continue its outreach through its other missions in China.
