Protest Against Proposed Chinese ‘Mega Embassy’ Held In London
A police vehicle sits outside Royal Mint Court as activists gather nearby to oppose plans for a Chinese "Mega Embassy," thought likely to be approved on the 20,000 square meter site by the British government next week, in London, England, on January 17, 2026. Opponents argue that the proposed complex, which sits close to the City of London financial district and beside critical underground data cables, is used as a base for espionage and surveillance, and poses a heightened risk to Chinese dissidents in exile in the UK.
