China is reportedly switching off the water supply to British diplomats in Beijing to force the 
Government to cave in to its controversial demands for a 
mega-embassy in London
The ploy is said to be the latest tactic by Xi Jinping to ensure he gets approval for his plans to build the complex at Royal Mint Court.
Despite grave security fears, the Government is expected to soon wave the plans through in a bid to appease China.
Whitehall sources say staff at the British Embassy in Beijing are languishing in a crumbling building with the water cut off for hours on end and they are even being forced to use a squash court as a temporary office.
Despite a £100 million contract being awarded in 2020 by the Foreign Office, China has refused to allow work to start while its own plans are in limbo.
‘Sometimes our water supply goes “missing” which is an interesting way of putting it. They are using our embassy to force us to do something about their embassy. Our one needs a complete remake. It is neglected. This behaviour is not very sporting or diplomatic.’
