The Chicom Red Menace is slowly collapsing-no more Greeland dreams, no more Diego Garcia dreams, no more unbalanced trade deficits with the US and probably no flooding Canada with products to dump on the US markets.
Oh yeah, and no more Venezuela access and probably no more Cuba access and they lost potential ownership of the Panama Canal.
But Starmer has possibly given them the keys to the kingdom-London - Despite fears of Chinese spying and hacking, the British government gave the go-ahead Tuesday for China to build a massive new embassy in the heart of London. The mega-embassy's designs will see it occupy an entire city block with a view of The Shard, Britain's tallest building on the banks of the Thames.
Chinese premier Xi Jinping has removed the country’s top-ranking general amid rumors of an attempted coup against him.
General Zhang Youxia, second only to President Xi in the military hierarchy, has been placed under investigation and accused of “grave violations of discipline and the law,” the country’s Defense Ministry announced on Saturday.
The New York Times has described the move as “the most stunning escalation so far in Mr. Xi’s yearslong purge of the People’s Liberation Army elite.”
So far, no details about the general’s alleged misconduct have been provided.
General Zhang was widely believed to be one of the Xi’s closest allies.
The Times explains, “General Zhang, 75, had appeared to be close to Mr. Xi. Their fathers were both veterans of Mao Zedong’s revolutionary wars and were personally acquainted, and Mr. Xi kept General Zhang in office beyond the customary retirement age. But widening corruption investigations, and other possible violations, appear to have eroded Mr. Xi’s confidence in him.”
Two other senior members of the Chinese military are also now being investigated.
President Xi has spent years attempting to purge the military of what he describes as corrupt and disloyal elements.
The new investigation means China’s Central Military Commission is left with only two members—one of whom is Xi himself. All six members appointed to the Commission in 2022 have been removed.
“This move is unprecedented in the history of the Chinese military and represents the total annihilation of the high command,” Christopher K. Johnson, a former CIA analyst, said of the investigations.
Xi appears to have “decided he must cut very deep generationally to find a group not tainted,” Mr. Johnson said.
On social media, rumors suggest an imminent coup by General Zhang was foiled after he was betrayed.
“According to revelations by former CCP official Du Wen, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli were arrested over an attempted coup,” said Jennifer Zeng, a journalist and China specialist.
“Du Wen said that Zhang Youxia, together with Chief of the Joint Staff Liu Zhenli, planned to mobilize troops to launch a coup against Xi Jinping under the banner of ‘saving the Party and saving the nation,’ but they were betrayed by people close to them.
“At present, the old General Staff command system has been suspended and replaced by direct command from the Central Military Commission via encrypted telegrams. All units across the military have been placed on Level-1 combat readiness, with all military movements immediately frozen and halted.
“All officers and soldiers have been ordered to hand in their mobile phones and undergo collective political study. The coup attempt has completely failed.”

Moreover, communism always creates a low trust society, of dog-eat-dog.....The people are always conning each other, as well as the government...
The cities, bridges, roads and infrastructures fall apart, shortly after being built up...and travel to the small villages and experience what Europe was once like, back in the dark ages.....China is one big overrated open sewer....
Frankly, the dark cabal strategists must have been insane, to believe that China could become the new leading manufacturing nation (Henry Kissinger 1972,) as America was before it and Britain, before America, etc.....

THEY ARE CHALLENGING THIS....Starmer will not get away with it.....Planning permission laws can bog the whole attempt down...
Moreover, both MI5 and GCHQ have stated that they cannot guarantee total safety to our telecoms, if the Chinese do take up residence at the site...
I recon that it will be another of many U-turns, eventually....Starmer is being challenged on all fronts...Even if he seems to have given a green light, it can go red again for his evil plans...
