Dutch sound alarm on Chinese super-embassy in London

For years, Steerpike has been warning about the dangers of a new Chinese 'super-embassy' being built in Tower Hamlets. Located on the site of Britain's old Royal Mint, there are plans to build Beijing's largest overseas outpost, sitting opposite the Tower of London. Local residents, many of whom are Uighur Muslim, are viscerally opposed, while the Met has major security concerns about the site becoming a magnet for anti-China protests too. Quelle surprise… Having ignored all domestic opposition to this plan, pig-headed officials might now be willing to advice from candid friends from overseas. This weekend, it was the Americans sounding the alarm in the Sunday Times, amid fears that the building could effectively become a nest of spies in the heart of London. And today, Mr S can bring warnings from across the English Channel. For it seems the Dutch – British allies since the Glorious Revolution of 1688 – are up in arms now too.

US and China are holding trade talks in London after Trump's phone call with Xi

High-level delegations from the United States and China are meeting in London on Monday to try and shore up a fragile truce in a trade dispute that has roiled the global economy, A Chinese delegation led by Vice Premier He Lifeng was due to hold talks with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer at a U.K. government building. The talks, which are expected to last at least a day, follow negotiations in Geneva last month that brought a temporary respite in the trade war. The two countries announced May 12 they had agreed to a 90-day suspension of most of the 100%-plus tariffs they had imposed on each other in an escalating trade war that had sparked fears of recession. The U.S. and China are the world's biggest and second-biggest economies. Chinese trade data shows that exports to the United States fell 35% in May from a year earlier. Since the Geneva talks, the U.S. and China have exchanged angry words over advanced semiconductors that power artificial intelligence, ' rare earths ' that are vital to carmakers and other industries, and visas for Chinese students at American universities. President Donald Trump spoke at length with Chinese leader Xi Jinping by phone last Thursday in an attempt to put relations back on track. Trump announced on social media the following day that the trade talks would resume in London. The U.K. government says it is providing the venue and logistics but is not involved in the talks, though British Treasury chief Rachel Reeves met with both Bessent and He on Sunday. 'We are a nation that champions free trade and have always been clear that a trade war is in nobody's interests, so we welcome these talks,' the British government said in a statement.
