state security will be allowed to conduct airport-style security checks on tourists including examining their passports before they visit the ruins of the Abbey of St Mary Graces, a Cistercian abbey endowed to the City of London by King Edward III in 1350 and an ancient British heritage site.
The ring-of-steel has been approved by Foreign and Home Office officials because the ruins sit within the site of Beijing's proposed 'super-embassy'.
“Legally speaking, Edward III's foundation would be in China, and unsafe for anyone critical of the Chinese regime to visit.”
“This is yet another example of the Labour Government caving into China's bribery, blackmail, and bullying.”
“It is a grotesque compromise, which exposes the supine and pathetic attitude this once proud country has adopted towards China.”
