中国驻休斯敦总领事馆获集体三等功
据外交部网站消息，2020年8月17日晚，驻休斯敦总领事馆全体馆员乘包机抵达北京，外交部在首都机场举行简短庄重迎接仪式。国务委员兼外交部长王毅出席并讲话。
The staff from the recently closed Chinese Consulate General in Houston arrived in Beijing on Monday evening, with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi greeting them at the airport.
The staff were returning home for the first time since July 21, when the United States abruptly demanded that the Chinese Consulate General in Houston cease all operations and events within a specified time frame.
王毅在讲话中指出，面对美方违反国际关系基本准则，要求关闭中国驻休斯敦总领事馆这一突发事件，总领事馆全体同志们临危不乱，处变不惊，牢记祖国人民的嘱托，履行外交人员的职责，在极其困难甚至危险的环境下，坚决维护了国家的核心利益，坚决维护了国家和民族的尊严，坚决维护了中国驻外机构的正当权益，以实际行动表明中国驻休斯敦总领事馆是一个坚强、团结、有力的优秀集体，每位同志都是关键时刻顶得住，冲得上，有理想、有担当的外交战士。
In his welcome speech, Wang said that, in the face of an unexpected incident, the Chinese consular staff had remained calm and unflappable, resolutely safeguarding the core interests of the country, the dignity of the country and the people, and the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese agencies abroad in an extremely difficult and even dangerous environment.
unflappable /ˌʌnˈflæpəbl/: 镇定的，不慌张的
王毅表示，驻休斯敦总领事馆的这场风波表明，美国的反华势力正在不择手段破坏中美关系，处心积虑阻挡中国的发展。但这是逆历史潮流而动，决不可能得逞！我们坚信，要对话，不要对抗仍是两国的主流民意，我们坚信，中美关系历经风雨后还会浴火重生。我们坚信，中国的命运掌握在中国人民的手中，在中国共产党的领导下，任何人、任何势力都无法阻挡我们迈向民族复兴的步伐。
Wang said that the Consulate General in Houston showed that the anti-China forces in the United States are undermining China-US relations and deliberately trying to block China's development.
"But this is going against the tide of history, and it will never succeed!" he stressed.
Wang said that China firmly believes that China-US relations will be revived after the current period of difficulty, adding that the destiny of China is in the hands of its people.
Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, no one and no force can stop the nation from moving towards rejuvenation, Wang said.
rejuvenation /rɪˌdʒuːvəˈneɪʃn/ ：复兴
迎接仪式上，外交部党委书记齐玉还代表部党委宣布授予驻休斯敦总领事馆集体三等功。
