Großbritannien genehmigt trotz Spionageängsten Chinas Plan für seine größte Botschaft in Europa

[Reuters reports: ](https://uk.news.yahoo.com/uk-approves-china-plan-largest-110732940.html)Britain’s government gave approval on Tuesday for China to build its largest embassy in Europe in London, hoping to improve ties with Beijing despite British and U.S. politicians‘ warnings that it could be used ​as a base for spying.

The approval was subject to some conditions.

China’s plans to build a new embassy on the site of the two-century-old ‌Royal Mint Court near the Tower of London have stalled for three years over opposition from local residents, lawmakers and Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigners in Britain.

China WILL spy, but hey at least they wont threaten to invade every weaker ally nation, like another who does so in addition to spying

We’ve accepted we’re addicted to China. We’ve become dependent on their manufacturing capacity and cheap products to serve our needs, and we’ve pulled ourselves out of the world’s largest trading block, so we don’t have much leverage to start dictating or even negotiating on these things. Of course we’re going to become subservient to whatever they want, despite the advice of our own intelligence services.

Not just espionage fears. Fears they are going to kidnap UK citizens with Chinese links and torture and deport them secretly
