The British Parliament expressed deep concerns on Tuesday regarding China's plans to build a new embassy in London, which would include 208 secret underground rooms, including a 'hidden room.' The Labour government, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, must decide by January 20 whether to approve the construction, a decision that has been previously postponed. The embassy is set to be moved from the Marylebone area to a historic zone near the Tower of London, raising fears related to surveillance and espionage. The Conservative Party spokesperson, Alicia Kearns, warned that this site could become a 'launch pad for economic warfare' against the United Kingdom. Although the delay in approval is causing irritation in Beijing, the British government continues to seek additional information to assess the project's impact on national security.
