Telegraph obtains unredacted plans showing how close the underground complex will come to cables carrying sensitive British financial data
The drawings show that a single concealed chamber will sit directly alongside fibre-optic cables transmitting financial data to the City of London, as well as email and messaging traffic for millions of internet users.
Chamber, as in room, right?
The disclosures will reignite fears that Beijing could be seeking to spy on the information carried through the network, potentially gaining access to state and financial secrets.
Wouldn’t it be encrypted?

Uncovered: a room of the proposed embassy will be slightly further away from the cables than the distance from the pavement which has access grates through which any nefarious activity could already take place.
So far I haven’t heard anyone raising concrete concerns about this embassy except right-wing shitrags… are there any legitimate ones?
