UK Nears Decision on China's Proposed Large Embassy Amid Security Concerns

The UK government is nearing a decision on China's proposed large embassy at Royal Mint Court in London, a project delayed for years amid security and political concerns. Opposition leaders, including Conservative Kemi Badenoch, have protested, citing risks of espionage and intimidation of dissidents. Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasizes safeguarding national security while maintaining diplomatic ties. Approval is expected soon, coinciding with Starmer's planned visit to China, despite ongoing debates over sovereignty and civil liberties.
