Good! The United states doesn't deserve to lead in shit because its people are idiots that don't want to lead or invest anymore in doing so.

It's fucking over for American leaderhship in tech or science. Trump is making damn sure of it and one day our military will be inferior to china's and we will pay for it severely. China will dictate world policy and we will live in fear of it...Loserterian base will still wave that flag but maybe one day will be doing so in front of a chinese tank running down their streets.

UK expected to approve plans for Chinese mega embassy

21 November 2025, 09:40 GMT

The UK government is expected to approve China's plans for a new mega embassy in central London.

A final decision has not yet been formally taken, but the advice ministers are understood to have received from the intelligence agencies clears the path for the controversial project to be given the go ahead.

The expected green light – first reported by the Times newspaper, external – will become the latest case study in the growing public argument about how wise a close relationship with Beijing is.

The approval or rejection of the planning application lies with the Housing Secretary Steve Reed – in what is known as a quasi-judicial decision.

But given the sensitivities of this judgement call, many others have been consulted – including MI5 and MI6.
