video message<\/a>\u00a0posted on the Tibetan Community in Britain\u2019s official social media handle, the Youth Coordinator urged collective action and announced two key demonstrations scheduled for December 6 and 10 under the banner \u201cRevoke Chinese Embassy Plan.\u201d The protests to be held at Royal Mint Court, the planned site of the new diplomatic compound, will bring together Tibetans, Hong Kongers, Chinese dissidents, Uyghurs, Southern Mongolians and Taiwanese groups.<\/p>\nThe message addressed Tibetans in Britain, Tibetan media outlets, and allied communities, the Youth Coordinator urged immediate action, emphasising that \u201cthe deadline for approval or decline from the government of this country for the new mega embassy for the People\u2019s Republic of China is fast approaching.\u201d Referencing emerging reports that MI5 officials have advised Housing Minister Steve Reid that the new facility \u201cposes no threat,\u201d the Coordinator warned that Tibetans know from experience that this assessment does not reflect the danger posed.<\/p>\n
\u201cTibetans of any age will attest that this new mega embassy is most definitely a threat to our lives\u2014whether that be our safety online or even our presence on the streets,\u201d the message stated, adding that even seeing a prominent Chinese flag in central London evokes fear. \u201cI call London my second home, and it is my last wish for the Chinese to claw their way any further.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be MI5 watching, there will be police recording, and if our disturbance, our voice, isn\u2019t loud enough, then how can we express the real calamity that the new Chinese embassy might bring on us?\u201d the Coordinator said, framing the moment as a decisive last opportunity for public resistance.<\/p>\n
The Youth Coordinator also urged supporters to write to their Members of Parliament, read educational materials linked through campaign pages, and sign the petition hosted by Free Tibet, stressing that \u201cpolitical pressure is always important, but really these two weeks matter more than any other.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tibetan groups in the UK, alongside advocacy organisations such as Free Tibet, Tibet Society, and the International Tibet Network, have staged sustained protests since plans for the embassy\u2019s relocation were announced. Demonstrations held over the past two years outside Royal Mint Court have brought together hundreds of activists raising concerns about Beijing\u2019s expanding influence on British soil.<\/p>\n
Advocacy groups argue that the new compound, envisioned as one of China\u2019s largest diplomatic sites in Europe, would serve as a hub for transnational repression, enabling the Chinese state to more effectively monitor, intimidate, and pressure diaspora communities. Campaigners fear increased surveillance of Tibetans, Hong Kongers, Uyghurs, and mainland Chinese dissidents seeking refuge in the UK.<\/p>\n
The UK government\u2019s ruling, which has been long delayed amid local opposition, security concerns, and political debate, is now expected on December\u00a010. If approved, the new complex would replace China\u2019s existing embassy in Portland Place with a significantly larger and more fortified facility.<\/p>\n
