Hundreds gathered outside the proposed site of China’s new London embassy, citing security concerns and opposition to the regime.
Several hundred people, most of them wearing masks to conceal their identities, protested outside the proposed site of China’s new embassy in London.
The demonstrators argue that the embassy poses a security threat and serves as a reward for an authoritarian regime.
The Chinese government plans to build the new embassy at Royal Mint Court, a historic site near the Tower of London. If approved, it would be the largest Chinese embassy in Europe. However, the local council has rejected its planning permission requests.
The site is located on the edge of the City of London, Britain’s financial hub. Opponents of the project fear that Chinese officials could gain access to data cables running beneath and near the site, potentially compromising national security.
A final decision, to be made by Britain's Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, is expected by May.
