UK MPs Raise Security Concerns Over Proposed China Embassy in London

UK MPs from the Labour Party have raised security concerns over China's proposed 'mega embassy' near London's financial district, citing risks from a secret basement room adjacent to critical fibre-optic cables. They describe China as a 'hostile state' and urge the government to block the project. The UK government acknowledges security threats but also highlights economic ties with China. A decision on the embassy's approval is expected soon, ahead of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's planned visit to Beijing.
