💨 Abstract

China is planning to build a new "superembajada" in London's Cartwright Street, near iconic landmarks. This proposal has sparked concerns among locals and officials about potential espionage and security risks. The building, Royal Mint Court, was previously a British coin factory. If approved, it will be China's largest embassy in Europe. Residents and officials have raised issues regarding privacy, safety, and the politically strained relations between the UK and China.
