China's former ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming, posted in both Chinese and English last night (December 3rd): "The planning application for the China Embassy's premises in the UK has been complete. The UK side's repeated delay in approval is utterly unreasonable. The so-called reasons are completely unfounded. China is seriously concerned and strongly dissatisfied. We will carefully assess the situation and safeguard our legitimate interests."
[Sarcastic] Comment: The UK's actions are a typical example of "contradicting oneself and having no integrity"! The planning application for the China Embassy's premises in the UK has already been complete, everything was done according to regulations, but the UK side again delayed the approval without any reason, and the so-called reasons are absurd and unconvincing. China expressing serious concerns and strong dissatisfaction is entirely a just and reasonable action. If the UK thinks it can intimidate China with such petty tricks, it is really a big mistake.
