China’s £255m Super Embassy Bunker in London🇬🇧🇨🇳
China is planning to build its Royal Mint Court, a mega embassy in the heart of London, close to the Tower of London, which would include a secret underground network (in the basement chamber) of more than 200 rooms.
The proposed embassy complex, located near the Tower of London, would feature a network of over 200 underground rooms, sparking concerns about potential espionage activities. The site’s proximity to key financial and communication infrastructure has raised eyebrows among security experts, who warn that China could exploit this to intercept sensitive data.
Some experts argue that the embassy’s design, including a secret underground chamber near fiber-optic cables, could facilitate intelligence gathering. However, others believe that with proper security measures, the risks can be mitigated.
