China resubmits embassy application in London, testing UK Labour gov't on China-UK relations.

China resubmits application to build large embassy in London, testing the new UK Labour government's strategy for handling China-UK relations. The new embassy plans, initially rejected by Tower Hamlets council due to security concerns, were resubmitted after the Labour government took power. If rejected again, the national government may become involved in the decision-making process. The embassy, which would be China's largest in Europe, has faced opposition from MPs and local residents concerned about security and potential protests.
