- The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is actively influencing British elites in business, media, and politics to align with its priorities.
- MI5 has warned of the 'epic scale' of CCP espionage, calling it Britain’s most 'game-changing' security challenge.
- A recent alleged spy operation in Parliament collapsed in court, highlighting Britain’s incoherent response to Chinese threats.
- The UK government is considering approving a massive Chinese embassy in London, raising concerns over surveillance and security risks.
- The proposed embassy site is strategically located near sensitive financial data infrastructure, posing risks of espionage.
- The CCP’s United Front system operates globally to silence dissent and enforce ideological conformity, including in British academia.
- Chinese intelligence targets diaspora communities, activists, and critics, using intimidation and harassment tactics.
- The CCP’s approach to law and governance inverts British constitutional traditions, emphasizing control over individual freedoms.
- Approving the embassy could signal weakness to allies and undermine Britain’s reputation as a defender of liberty.
