Strange scene in Houston last night as fire
fighters are told they can’t enter the Chinese Consulate to fight a
fire. Documents were reportedly burned in a courtyard after US
govt. gave the consulate until Friday to leave the building. More

中駐美休士頓領事館發生火警 翻攝自Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian推特
近期美中關係緊張,加上新冠肺炎與港版國安法通過等事件持續延燒,美中關係的情勢變化成為外界關注的焦點。根據外媒報導,當地時間21日晚上8點,休斯頓消防局接獲當地居民報案,中國駐美國休士頓領事館發生火警,現場濃煙密布,然消防人員到場後卻被阻擋門外,無法入內處理。
根據《ABC13》報導,星期二晚間,當地居民因看到濃煙密布,故報警處理。根據當地電視台撥放周邊居民從高處拍攝的畫麵顯示,當時有多人在領事館的露天後院的鐵桶裡焚燒大量文件,然而領事館等同於該國領土,消防人員並沒有權利可以入內,因此休士頓消防局被阻擋在門外,沒有權限進入領事館後院滅火。
美國專門報導中國事務的記者,艾倫惡布拉希米恩(Bethany
Allen-Ebrahimian)於推特上也分享了現場照片,並且發文寫道:「大家應該都十分清楚這代表什麽」。
消防隊的指揮佩納(Sam
Pena)則表示,據當時焚燒的情況來看,此次並非無限製的火災,儘管沒有被允許入內,消防隊員仍在門外進行待命並監視情況。而根據當地媒體報導,休士頓總領事館被建築大樓業主要求,需於本周星期五前遷離該大樓,此舉是否在為遷離做準備則尚未證實。
