Approval for China’s new embassy

That this House expresses deep concern about the Government’s decision to greenlight the construction of a Chinese mega-Embassy in London; notes with grave anxiety the potential national security risks posed by the proposed Embassy, including an increased capacity for surveillance and intimidation linked to the Chinese Communist Party; acknowledges the strong objections raised by pro-democracy Chinese and Hong Kong activists about the proposals for a mega-Embassy; calls on the Government to ensure that there is the right to peacefully and safely protest outside the proposed site of the Embassy; further calls on the Government to include all Chinese officials, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region officials and Chinese Communist Party-linked organisations on the enhanced tier of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme; stresses the importance of the Government urgently publishing its promised UK-China Audit in full, outlining the threats posed to the UK's values and interests by the Chinese Communist Party; and urges the Government to reverse its decision to approve the mega-Embassy.
