Telegraph Revelations: China Plans 'Super-Embassy' with Secret Underground Chamber in London

The Telegraph reveals that China is planning to build a secret underground chamber next to Britain's most sensitive communication cables, as part of a network of 208 secret rooms beneath its new 'super-embassy' in central London, on the site of the former Royal Mint. Unredacted plans and security concerns have emerged, with the newspaper reporting that Prime Minister Keir Starmer is poised to approve the project ahead of his upcoming visit to China and meeting with Xi Jinping. The 'secret chamber' is located near fiber optic cables carrying critical financial data and communications. The revelations fuel fears of espionage and economic warfare.
