Chinese embassy plan must be “put out of its misery”

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the confirmation that the Chinese embassy decision has been postponed until December, Calum Miller MP, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, said:

"This week we have seen the extent of China’s espionage efforts laid bare. But instead of blocking the monster embassy for good, the Government is kicking the can down the road in the hope no one will notice if it approves it at a later stage.

"It’s beyond time this embassy proposal was put out of its misery - and that the Government send a signal to China that we will no longer roll over in the face of their industrial espionage.”
