Why have concerns been raised about China’s ‘mega embassy’ close to the Tower of London?
Keir Starmer’s government has been keen to nurture trade between the UK and China, but relations have increasingly soured over concerns about Beijing’s efforts to spy on Britain.
The UK government warned China last month that it would never accept attempts to ‘interfere in our sovereign affairs’ after MI5 alerted MPs to Beijing’s intelligence services trying to recruit people who work in parliament.
The Chinese embassy accused Britain of ‘fabrication and malicious slander’ and warned the British government ‘to stop going further down the wrong path of undermining China-UK relations’.
