China warns UK of 'consequences' over mega-embassy delays

China has warned the UK of potential "consequences" over delays in approving a proposed mega-embassy in London. The UK government had initially planned to make a decision on the contentious site, but has since pushed back the decision for a second time. The proposed embassy site has faced significant opposition from human rights groups and UK lawmakers, who have raised concerns about China's human rights record and its crackdown on dissent in Hong Kong. China, however, has insisted that the new embassy is a "normal diplomatic activity" and has accused the UK of "politicizing" the issue. The UK's delay in approving the site has prompted a strong response from China, which has warned of potential "consequences" if the decision is further delayed or denied. The diplomatic tensions highlight the ongoing challenges in the UK-China relationship, as the two countries navigate complex geopolitical and human rights issues.
