China's Mega-embassy Plan Alarms Residents

China plans to build a mega embassy on the former site of the Royal Mint Court in London. After the Labour government announced its intervention in the approval process, the local council was sidelined, and residents have become increasingly anxious, fearing for their privacy and security.

Green Bean Media interviewed Mark Nygate, a resident living in an estate near the Royal Mint Court, separated from the embassy staff quarters by just a fence. While worried about privacy concerns, he is also anxious that everyday activities — such as taking photographs, or hanging a bird feeder on a tree — could be misinterpreted by Chinese authorities as suspicious or even espionage-related. He also expressed gratitude to Hong Kongers for donating funds to support residents in hiring legal representation.

使館要大？

中國計劃在倫敦皇家鑄幣廠舊址興建超級大使館，工黨政府表明介入審批後，地區議會被架空，居民人心惶惶，擔心個人私隱和安全。

《綠豆》訪問了居於皇家鑄幣廠附近屋苑，與大使館員工宿舍只有一圍欄之隔的居民 Mark Nygate，他擔心私隱受侵犯之餘，更憂慮未來即使是在花園剪草、拍照，或掛餵鳥器在樹上，都可能惹中方懷疑，或被誤會從事間諜活動。他又感謝香港人捐款支持居民請律師。
