US lawmakers have expressed concern about the UK over the China’s plan to create a new embassy in London when Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is preparing to meet with President Donald Trump.

Chris Smith, Republican Chairman of the Executive Committee of Congress on China, and John Mulear, Head of the Republican Republican Head of the Republican The Chinese House CommitteeHe said they were concerned that the UK was awarded China, despite their human rights records and transnational repression.

“The conveying of the Communist government of China with the largest embassy in Europe is a counterproductive and dissatisfied award,” the British Ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson wrote on Wednesday.

Smith and Moulenar said that allowing China to build a huge embassy on the site of the former royal court to reward it when thousands of political prisoners were detained in Hong Kong, including Media Magnates and UK citizen Jimmy Lai.

“Indeed, in the Chinese communist government, such outstanding diplomatic consolidation in the UK will only establish their efforts on the spare and persecution of UK citizens and dissidents and experts across Europe who oppose or criticize its policies,” they added.

Critics of the UK and the United States also expressed concern about the permission at Beijing at the embassy so close to the London city with the location of the critical communication infrastructure that can promote espionage.

“This is a specific place where the wires and pipes work under them,” said Tom Tigandhat, Conservative MP and former UK Minister of Security.

Tugendhat, who is also an employee of the Hadson Institute’s analytical center in Washington, said he would allow Beijing to build a mega embassy in this place, sent a ridiculous message given how China was across the world.

“The embassies tell the story, and the story that this embassy tells that it will be the largest Communist Party of China in Europe,” Tugendhat said.

Smith and Moulenar asked Mandelson to convey their concern at the Starmer Embassy during his visit. It remains unclear whether the Trump administration in the British government has expressed at the planned embassy.

“We know that Prime Minister Starmer expressed concern about the detention of Jimmy Lai and promised to make his way out in the UK,” they said. “We urge him to use a meeting with President Trump to coordinate the consequences to get the LAI unconditional release.”

In October, Trump told Hugh Huitt that he would ensure the release of Lai. “100 percent… It will be easy to go out.”

Pressing in the US Congress comes when the UK activates diplomatic interaction with China, accusing the previous Tori government of weakening important communication channels.

In recent months, the UK Chancellor Rachel Reivz and Foreign Minister David Lami visited Beijing. It is expected that Starmer will go there this year. China is considered by the UK as a key source of further investment in the UK.

The Chinese Embassy in London did not immediately respond to a comment request.
