China’s New York Consulate A ‘Major Hub’ For Espionage Says Pompeo, Arrests ‘Likely Coming Soon’

The comments, revealed to the New York Post, come on the heels of the Trump administration ordering the closure of the Chinese Communist Party’s Houston Consulate for similar charges of espionage and intellectual property theft.
