China Establishes Its First Colonial Base In England
Imagine, for a moment, the brass-necked audacity of it. A strategic adversary—one running secret police stations on your soil, placing bounties on your residents, whose consul-general was filmed pulling a British resident's hair before having him beaten inside diplomatic grounds—asks to build the largest embassy in Europe directly on top of the cables carrying your financial system's lifeblood.
