The Chinese government was allowed to purchase the Royal Mint Court site to build a mega-embassy on it in the heat of London, the capital of Britain. The Chinese government purchased that site in 2018 under a “conservative” government’s watch, with Theresa May serving as the Prime Minister.
Now, the Labour government under Prime Minister Kier Starmer has officially approved the mega-embassy, making a definitive statement about the political direction the Soviet UK is headed towards. This follows Starmer’s ongoing efforts to delay May’s local elections, a move that can now be challenged after a recent High Court ruling.

Britain’s government has approved China’s plan to construct a new embassy in central London despite concerns about possible national security risks.
The Chinese government bought the Royal Mint Court site, which is close to London’s financial district, in 2018.
But the plan has been plagued by concerns and protests over national security. Some critics have pointed out the risk of wiretapping because communication cables for exchanging sensitive information are under the site.
Protesters have staged demonstrations in central London, with some saying that the new embassy could help China intensify monitoring of people who moved there from Hong Kong and other places.
