Pretty standard procedure for closing down facilities on foreign soil on short notice. It's interesting, but not exactly something to get worked up about.

It's like the scene from Jack Ryan, except there aren't agitators rioting in the streets in front of it.

I hope we stop Chinese Student Visa's also....
I think they'd have high-speed/capacity shredders.
Burning seems slow and tedious, unless the paper has covid on it and they are trying to pollute/infect Houston.

Trust me, the shredders are running as well.
If their "file plan" is anything remotely like ours, of the pile of sensitive docs: half probably shouldn't have been classified to begin with, a quarter were properly classified but are so old that they're no longer sensitive, and the remaining quarter might contain something sensitive and active.
Most of that burn pile is probably lunch orders and drawings of dicks.
or Winnie the Xi cartoons.

I'm not sure what the plans are for the building/site after this, but a Winnie the Pooh flag on the flagpole would amuse me greatly.
Doubly so if it were named the A. A. Milne Building.

Anyone have mystery seeds from China on their bingo list?

Overnight there’s been a joint statement from AUSMIN strengthening US/OZ cooperation. It would be a good opportunity for some of our researchers to fill the breach Stateside.
Economic warfare, can we say we are at war with China yet?

There's a kind of dishonest method of getting good reviews on trading sites by traders to get good ones by sending out their product to random addresses so the platform recognises it as a legitimate purchase and then the traders do the reviews themselves. This could quite possibly be that. I would doubt it's any type of economic warfare or the like since there would be much better ways to propagate invasive plants than random letter drops eg by way of the dip bag.

I thought this same thing. But a friend on FB put out what I hope is a joke image of the marijuana plant that sprouted. He is an AD Army officer.
What a great way to take all our clearance folks out. LOL I mean they do have our addresses and other PII thanks to OPD.

Iowa Department of Agriculture is taking this very serioues:

Imagine trying to get out of a narcotics charge using the "I planted what China sent me" defense.
Looking at those declarations I'm wagering it's the fake review scam but they're trying to skimp on sending the actual product like they usually do and are using roughly equivalent weights of cheap shit they've got from somewhere. Interesting one came from Uzbekistan since usually this thing is done by the Chinese.
I've just seen on the news here that this is happening here too, or at least one incident. From Kenya.
