The Global Alliance for Tibet & Persecuted Minorities (GATPM) is delighted to join this vital coalition once again and calls on every concerned individual, community, and ally to stand in solidarity. Your presence on 15 November 2025 is essential. This is our chance to expose the wrongs, amplify the voices of the oppressed, and apply sustained pressure on the UK government to permanently revoke permission for China to convert the historic Royal Mint Court into a CCP intelligence hub. The long-term consequences of inaction are severe: heightened surveillance risks, compromised national sovereignty, and the normalisation of authoritarian influence on British soil.

Why This Protest Matters – And Why YOU Must Be There
This is the seventh time Hongkongers, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Chinese dissidents, Taiwanese communities, and concerned British citizens have marched together. The threat has not diminished – it has intensified.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) seeks to transform Grade II-listed Royal Mint Court* – a symbol of British monetary heritage – into Europe’s largest diplomatic compound. Intelligence experts, former MI6 officials, and cross-party MPs have raised serious concerns:
We Say NO – Here’s Why:
- Critical National Infrastructure at Risk.
The site is located directly above sub-surface data cables serving Canary Wharf and the City of London. A CCP-controlled facility here could enable interception of sensitive financial and government communications.
- Proven Espionage Threat
- 2023–2024 Spy Cases: Two individuals charged with spying for China under the Official Secrets Act; one had access to Parliament. A separate case involved a suspected CCP “united front” operative with links to senior UK figures.
- MI5 Alert (2022): The agency warned that CCP interference represents a “serious and growing” threat to UK democracy and economic security.
- Hainan Xiandun Technology Case (2024): A CCP-linked firm was implicated in stealing UK aviation intellectual property – illustrating tactics that could be replicated from a fortified embassy.
- Surveillance & Intimidation Hub
- Over 160,000 Hong Kongers have arrived in the UK under the BNO visa scheme since 2021.
- Uyghur, Tibetan, Taiwanese, and Hong Kong diaspora communities report transnational harassment, including family threats in China and unofficial “overseas police stations” operated by CCP proxies.
- A mega-embassy with expanded diplomatic immunity would intensify these activities.
- Heritage & Planning Betrayal
- Royal Mint Court is a Grade II-listed historic site.
- Tower Hamlets Council rejected the plans twice on grounds of scale, heritage impact, and security.
- The Secretary of State for Levelling Up overruled the council in December 2023 following a recovered appeal – no full public security assessment was published.
- Secret Deals Undermine Democracy
- Reports suggest embassy approval could be linked to post-Brexit trade discussions.
- No public impact assessment or independent security review has been released.
GATPM’s Call to Action
“The CCP does not build embassies – it builds fortified outposts. Royal Mint Court is not merely a building; it is a potential command centre for transnational repression. The Tibetan, Uyghur, Hong Kong, Chinese dissidents, and Taiwanese diasporas in the UK recognise this pattern: from Lhasa to Hong Kong to Taipei, the CCP uses ‘diplomacy’ as cover for control. We stand in unbreakable solidarity with our allies – because an attack on one persecuted community is an attack on all.”
