Is China’s Mega Embassy Actually a Massive Spying Compound?

The largest Chinese embassy in Europe is set to rise in the heart of London: a 20,000 square meter complex at Royal Mint Court.

Local councillors rejected it twice. But the government approved it anyway, and a High Court challenge from residents was dismissed this summer.

Standing against it is Luke de Pulford, founder of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China—an international coalition of lawmakers opposing CCP infiltration.

Why does this embassy matter, and why should America care?

The site sits directly above fiber-optic cables carrying sensitive financial data between the City of London and Canary Wharf, Britain's two main financial districts. The architectural drawings are also conspicuously redacted.

"Nearly an entire floor is redacted, so we don't know what the use of those buildings are, and some of those rooms are in the basement area," de Pulford says.

"If the Chinese were able to, in some way, sabotage or hack this cabling … They would be impacting any financial services from anywhere in the world who are located in those two financial centers, which of course includes the United States."

MI5 lists China as one of the most serious national security threats facing the UK. So why was the embassy approved?

"It's partly down to the leverage that China exacts, it's partly down to the carrots that it dangles around economic opportunities, and it's partly down to the blunt coercion it's willing to mete out."

This episode looks at what can still be done to stop the project, why it's being called the last line of defense, and what it takes to resist communist infiltration from within.

I seem to remember an issue with the American embassy in Berlin that hit the news during the Obama presidency; the CIA was gathering intel on German government officials using surveillance equipment on the embassy rooftop.

55 minute video. China truly is an evil empire.

NO DOUBT about that.
Nothing changes there. The Chinese believe in TWO things: LUCK and MONEY.
THAT is China.

My husband and I went there. I always thought that countries south of our border were filthy.
Then we went overseas...Saudi Arabia for work. It wasn't so dirty but it was SO foreign and we felt so out of place.

Then we traveled to Kenya and north Africa. Those two places made Saudi Arabia look clean.

Then we went to India...filthy. India made Kenya and Africa look spotlessly clean.

Then we went to China. China made all those filthy places look Swiss. China was an ABOMINATION of filth. Since the Chinese believe in only luck and money it was easy to see why their country was so dirty. It takes money to clean and keep a country clean.

Do YOU think that China will change? I don't think that It NEVER will. They make their country the way they want it to be.

China makes EVERY filthy rathole country look Swiss and American!

They only have to get within a few feet of the cabling to record the transmissions - there was another case a year of more back where the Chinese were very close to sensitive cablings.

Singapore, which is majority Chinese, is very clean and safe. There is no reason to give up on the PRC.

Yes. They have had been that way for a long time. General Douglas MacArthur had the right idea, but the Democrats thwarted him. MacArthur wanted to nuke the yellow bastards.

We visited India. It was filthy but China made India seem SWISS.

There was a hotel chain on the lake up there: Lake Dal. There were wooden chalets on the lake. One could see the toilet flushes from LONG way away--pink toilet paper. The pink stood out.
Now THAT was disgusting. India made China look Swiss-clean.

When we returned home I got down on the airport linoleum and KISSED it. I was SO GLAD to be back home.

YES, INDEED!

I could have stayed in Singapore for a long, long time.
Now WHY are those Chinese so clean and others NOT?

You are 100% correct.
The PRC and Singapore SEEM to be two different PLANETS to me. Same race, different ways of living.

Singapore is the food lovers paradise.
