UK-China embassy row sparks espionage fears

Both Labour and Conservatives have raised red flags over a proposed Chinese super-embassy in London.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said the US was right to be concerned, claiming Labour is “cosying up to China” at the cost of national security.

Meanwhile, Technolgy Secretary Peter Kyle says the UK has longstanding, secure processes in place to monitor foreign diplomatic sites, adding the public should feel reassured.
