China's dream of building a "castle" in London is being hampered

The Chinese government has invested £ 750 million in 2018 to relocate the Chinese embassy in London to the Towers Hamilton area east of London. According to reports, the Chinese embassy in the UK has praised the move in a timely manner as "opening a golden chapter in Anglo-Chinese relations." However, his plans to open a "golden section" in the UK have been thwarted by his brutal policies in Uyghur, Tibetan and Hong Kong.

According to a January 10 report by City A.M., local councilors in the region voted against China's bid to build an embassy in London, naming the streets around the location of the new Chinese embassy as "Tiananmen Square", "Uyghur Court", and "Hong Kong Road". , Voted to change the name to "Tibetan Palace" (Potala Palace). And they are considering a plan to rename it.

City A.M., a local councilor in the area, said the renaming of the roads around the three buildings, including the Chinese embassy, ​​"supports the freedom and diversity of our region."

The above-mentioned plan to change the name of the place where the Chinese embassy is to be relocated is the result of months of anti-China lawmakers' speeches, with City A. M reporting that Rahima Mahmood, a representative of the World Uyghur Congress in London, played a key role in the activism of the World Uyghur Congress in London.

Ms. Rahima Mehmood said in an interview that Uyghur, Tibetan and Hong Kong activists have joined forces to call on the Tver Hamlets regional government to oppose China's human rights abuses. They asked the city council to dedicate three different roads and buildings to Tibetans, Uighurs and Hong Kongers who were being persecuted by the Chinese government. They believe that the symbolic significance of this is enormous.

Ms. Rahima also said that the location of the building, which will be relocated to the Chinese embassy in London, which has been her second home for 20 years, looks at the tower bridge, which is very large and a symbol of London, which is tantamount to building a Chinese palace here.

According to Rahima, Rabina Khan, a member of the Towers Hamilton Council, who has been actively supporting Uighurs since 2018, has named the roads around the site where the Chinese embassy is to be relocated "Tiananmen Square", "Uighur Court", "Hong Kong Road", "Tibet Palace". (Potala Palace) has been playing a leading role in the movement for change of names.

Rabina Khan, the leader of the Chinese government's outrageous campaign, will run for mayor of Towers in May 2022, expressing her determination to run for the city council on her special blog: I struggle to build. I will be a strong advocate for the rights of all people, not just one part of society. 

In an interview, Rabina Khan briefly answered our question about when the Chinese embassy in the Towers Hamilton area began to change the name of the road around the relocating building: The proposal was tabled in Parliament by MP Peter Gold. Although the proposal did not pass the vote. It was a signal to us at the time that justice was being done. I was the second to submit the proposal to Parliament again. Rejected successively. Last March, I, in collaboration with Uyghurs and other activists, submitted a proposal to rename the road and building on which the Chinese embassy was to be relocated. In this way, we want to send a message to the Chinese government that we do not want to be intimidated by the plight of the Chinese people, that we are with the Uyghurs, Hong Kongers and Tibetans. " "Once we have brought the movement to this point, we must continue to put pressure on it."

Ms. Rahima Mahmood, Representative of the World Uyghur Congress in the United Kingdom, accompanied by Rabina Rabina, Member of the London Tower Hamels Council.

Councilwoman Rabina also asked us, "Are your actions obstructing or resisting the British government?" "No!" He replied. "Everyone is shocked that the proposal has not been approved, and the Chinese government alone does not like it.

As you know, their choice is to unite in such a great way and to be proud of it, but these renamed roads will be very difficult for them, and there will be a lot of protests. "We are not talking about Chinese citizens, it is an act of repression by the Chinese government."

He also asked us, "Do you think the Chinese government will abandon the plan to relocate the embassy now?" To our question:

"No, he can't, but he knows it will be very difficult for them. This is not a Chinese state, it is London, the UK. It has a guaranteed price in this society, unlike the communist society in China. "

The Chinese embassy plans to make the 700,000-square-foot building across from the London Tower, which is planned to be relocated, a new visa application center and cultural center, the third largest in the world after the new US Embassy in Vauxhall, south of London. If the Chinese embassy is relocated, it will become one of the world's three largest embassies. But as Ms. Rabina puts it, the Chinese government is in a position to keep up with the investment and plans it has put in place, and will face all sorts of protests and other pressures if the Chinese embassy relocates to the area.

According to a January 10 report in Time magazine, China has demanded that the British embassy in London be protected from "harassment" after warning that human rights activists would be targeted.

City A.M., a local councilor in the area, said the renaming of the roads around the three buildings, including the Chinese embassy, ​​"supports the freedom and diversity of our region."

Ms. Rabina Khan, as well as members of the London-based human rights lawmakers and councilors, as well as Uyghurs and Tibetans and Hong Kongers, is looking forward to the renaming of these roads where the Chinese embassy will move.
