The Issue

Predictably, the Chinese Communist Party have ignored UK planning refusal and have now launched a second attempt to create the largest embassy in the world at the old Mint House site. Therefore, I have also now resurrected my original Change Org petition for its refusal. My original petition -as per below - is also supplemented with the names of the collaborators and additional reasons for the people of the UK and London to object to this project.

The Chinese Communist Party will be creating the largest foreign embassy in the world if they are allowed to move their embassy into to the old Mint House. Mint House is a landmark building opposite the Tower of London, which saw the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of world war one, when 880,000 poppies were placed around the Tower as a memorial to those who lost their lives fighting for a free world. The Chinese Communist Party has shown its complete rejection of democracy and respect for human rights with its treatment of the Uyghurs, Tibetans and its democracy crackdown in Hong Kong. The British government should oppose the Peoples Republic of China's relocation to this building following their recognition of the CCPs genocide in Xinjiang.

The Tower Hamlets Council Labour Group has agreed to recognise the CCPs human rights violations and will raise the Tibetan Flag and rename roads near the Royal Mint site as Tiananmen Square, Uyghur Court and Hong Kong Road’ should the relocation go ahead.  However, this is not enough, the establishment of the biggest embassy in the world by the CCP in this prominent location must be stopped now. By signing this petition, you will show the world that we still recognise the sacrifice of those who died for the freedoms we are lucky to enjoy today.

In addition, or as an alternative to this petition, you may like to sign this petition - https://chng.it/bMWvZ8NyJH - which relates solely to the enormous loss of business rates the people of Tower Hamlets and Londoners are suffering during the drawn out progress of the work.
