UK government postpones ruling on Chinese embassy over blacked-out plans until October

The UK government has postponed its decision on China’s proposal to build a new embassy in London until October, citing the need for more time to review concerns over blacked-out design plans. The project, already delayed for years, has faced opposition from residents, politicians, and campaigners.
