The British Government of Keir Starmer gave the green light this Tuesday to the construction of the Europe’s largest Chinese embassy in central London despite warnings from some local and foreign politicians that it could be used as a spy base. The decision aims to improve relations with Beijing and facilitate the signing of a new trade agreement between both countries.
China’s plans to build a new diplomatic delegation at the Royal Mint Court, a two-century-old complex near the Tower of London that once housed the Royal Mint, had been stalled for three years due to opposition from local Hong Kong residents, parliamentarians and pro-democracy activists on British soil.
The approval of the plan has been announced before the visit of the premier Starmer this month to China, the first by a Downing Street leader since 2018. Some British and Chinese officials had revealed that the trip depended on approval from the super embassy.
The former headquarters of the Royal Mint in London, a historic site next to the Tower of London and St Katharine’s Docks, will be the future Chinese embassy.
