The UK will be deciding this week whether or not to allow the construction of a Chinese ‘mega’ embassy in London.
The project has been debated for years, with concerns over the potential security risks it could pose for the UK.
Critics fear the embassy, which would be located close to London’s financial district and crucial data cables, would be used as a base for espionage.
UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Andrew Dickens he doesn’t think the embassy will get the go ahead in the end.
The argument in favour, he says, is that the UK needs a good relationship with China to get money and investment, but this is a bridge too far.
