US warns London against allowing new site for Chinese embassy in UK - reports ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

The Chinese government purchased a historic building in London six years ago, which used to house the Royal Mint, but has still not been able to obtain permission to open a new embassy there.

“The United States is deeply concerned about providing China with potential access to the sensitive communications of one of our closest allies,“ a senior US official told the publication.

According to the publication, US President Donald Trump previously called on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to deny Beijing the opening of an embassy; the issue was raised during trade negotiations.

China’s plans to build a new Chinese embassy building in the London borough of Tower Hamlets have recently become a separate topic of disagreement between Beijing and London.

Local authorities, citing security concerns, refused building permission back in 2022, but in July 2024, Beijing submitted a new application. In December, the London Standard reported that Tower Hamlets Council had unanimously voted against opening a new Chinese embassy building on its territory.
