Newly uncovered plans for China's London embassy show a secret underground room. The chamber would be built directly next to vital telecommunications cables.
This discovery has raised major security concerns among British officials. Experts fear the room could be used for espionage, allowing interception of sensitive data passing through the cables.
The building plans were not meant to be made public. Their details have intensified ongoing debates about foreign embassy construction in strategic locations.
The UK government has not yet made a formal statement on the specific chamber. Security services are likely to scrutinize the plans before any construction approval is granted.
