The British embassy in Beijing has become a critical issue for China in its diplomatic relations with Britain, with reconstruction requests being blocked for over a year.
The Chinese government is leveraging its plans for a new giant complex in London as a bargaining chip, impacting the UK's progress on its own embassy project.
Local authorities denied planning permission for the Chinese embassy in London due to security concerns, but the decision is now under the purview of the deputy prime minister.
Sources indicate that the UK's diplomatic relations with China hinge on the outcome of the embassies saga, as the situation grows increasingly tense.
