Don’t give China its London mega-embassy on the cheap. The price of normalised relations should include the release of Hong Kong political prisoners and £3 billion of trapped pension savings belonging to exiles who fled the city www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Why Would Britain Trade a London Icon to China for Peanuts?
The presence of so many Hong Kong protesters outside Beijing's proposed mega-embassy at the former Royal Mint points to the price the UK should demand.

🕑 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
📍 Location: Outside Royal Mint Court EC3N 4AB
National Security Concerns over The People's Republic of China (PRC)'s plan to establish a massive "super-embassy" at Royal Mint Court, Tower Hamlets, London EC3N 4AB - against the will of the local council, residents, and even the Metropolitan Police.
This isn't just about a new embassy - it's about protecting our communities and freedoms. The planned chinese embassy in London would become a centre for surveillance and intimidation, threatening not only exiled Chinese nationals but also the safety and values we all share.
The metropolitan police objected the scheme over fears that the site lacks space for protests, yet the government intends to approve it to appease an authoritarian regime. This will set a dangerous precedent by undermining free speech and the democratic values of this country. We must take a stand - our streets should not become tools of authoritarian control, especially to those oppressed by the Chinese Communist regime such as Hongkongers, Tibetans, Uyghurs and Taiwanese. We need to hold the government accountable by demanding that human rights and democracy come before diplomatic concessions.
Join us on 8th February to defend democracy, free speech, and the safety of our communities!!!!
【2月8日 我地要大家一齊逼爆倫敦條馬路!】

The regressive protest laws passed in the UK by the previous gov't gave police have powers to shut a protest for "nuisance". China's proposed mega embassy would be hard to hold even a small protest outside of. (By design) There must be space for protest! NO to the royal mint embassy plan!
