The British government has decided to postpone approval to build a new Chinese embassy in London, a controversial project that could affect national security. Officials asked for clarification on 'dark' areas in the building's blueprints, and the deadline for approval has been moved from September 9 to October 21. The Chinese embassy expressed concerns about the delay and called for the application to be approved quickly, stressing that it was not necessary to provide further details about the interior design. The project, opposed by residents and politicians, was to be built on a historic site but has faced opposition over possible 'secret facilities'.
