Plans for a huge Chinese embassy in London have been approved by the UK government after years of debate over security risks.
The decision is "now final unless it is successfully challenged in court", the UK Housing Secretary Steve Reed has said.
Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith said granting permission for the embassy is a "terrible decision" that "ignores the brutality of the Chinese Communist Party".
"National security is our first concern," the UK government said and added that intelligence agencies "have been involved throughout the process".
