Hundreds of Hongkongers gathered outside the old Royal Mint in Tower Hamlets , London , on 8 February .
The protest had been organised because the Chinese Communist Party plans to build a national embassy at Royal Mint Court , giving rise to concerns about espionage and the illegal detention of dissenters.
A lone voice could be heard shouting: "Are you working for the CCP ?".
Beijing first purchased the Royal Mint site for 225 million in 2018 , hoping to build a diplomatic mission that would cover 700,000 square feet .
Tower Hamlets council voted to reject planning permission for the embassy.
From Beijing ’s perspective, the world is now deep into a Second Cold War .
China is not included in the enhanced tier of the new Foreign Influence Registration Scheme.
The Communist Party calls for world peace; meanwhile it builds barges equipped with 120-metre road-bridges.
The most obvious purpose is the transport of large vehicles (like tanks) across beaches.
Beijing gives every indication that it expects apocalyptic war in the near future.
