U.S. Orders China to Close Its Houston Consulate in 72 Hours (archive)
The United States ordered China to close its diplomatic consulate in Houston, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Wednesday, dealing another blow to the rapidly deteriorating relations between the two countries.
In the hours after the Trump administration notified the Chinese of its decision, smoke was seen billowing from a courtyard inside the consulate as employees dumped what appeared to be documents into flaming barrels, according to a video posted by KPRC-TV, a local television station.
The Houston police and fire departments responded to reports of a fire on Tuesday evening but did not enter the building, over which the Chinese have sovereignty.

If you do that, you destroy the credibility of the US currency on all international markets. Yeah, you can do it. But if you do be prepared to do all your trading in Euros.

1. petroyuan [wikipedia.org] will be more credible than petrodollar [wikipedia.org]
2. Inflation - when there is more money than goods. When China stops exports to US (because USD is now junk currency), you can bet your ass the inflation in US skyrockets.
