Britain will approve Beijing's new embassy construction plan despite US opposition!
UK Prime Minister Starmer is set to approve Beijing's plan to build a new embassy near the Royal Mint in London on December 10th, according to The Times. The Home Office and intelligence agencies will not oppose the project as long as it does not threaten national security.
The area near the Royal Mint building houses important data centers. The relocation plan of Beijing's embassy has sparked heated controversy. The White House opposed the plan, with US officials believing that through this method, China could access key underground communication infrastructure in the area, which may pose a national security threat to the UK and its allies.
The two-hectare plot was purchased by Beijing in 2018. The new embassy will become the largest diplomatic mission of Beijing in Europe.
