Description
China's plans to relocate its embassy to a sprawling site in the shadow of the Tower of London are sparking fierce opposition, with criticism pouring in from nearby residents, rights groups and China-hawks, among others. Some worry that the emphasis placed on economic growth and improved China ties by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer could sideline other considerations, including security and human rights. "We now have hundreds of thousands of Hong Kongers living in the UK," says foreign policy expert James Jennion. "I would expect that the Chinese government is quite interested to know what those communities are doing." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
