The U.S. has raised alarms regarding China's plans to build a vast embassy in London, which are seen as a threat to security, particularly for the UK's financial services sector. A House committee pointed out that the mega-embassy could lead to increased espionage activities and risks to sensitive infrastructures. Previous alerts by MI5 regarding Chinese espionage, along with rejection of the project by local authorities on security grounds, have intensified these concerns. The Metropolitan Police's mixed stance on protests adds to the complex situation surrounding the proposal.
The People's Republic of China mega-embassy in the UK raises significant security concerns: from interference and surveillance to risks for sensitive infrastructure like London's financial services.
We must work to urgently address this issue and work with our allies to protect national security.
