<div>We are 100 families taking on the CCP - and we need your help.
</div>
<div>我們是「皇家鑄幣廠居民協會」，由約一百戶職工家庭組成。我們懇請你伸出援手。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2018, our homes-key-worker flats in Tower Hamlets were sold in a secretive deal to the People's Republic of China. We had no say. No warning. And now, we face living under the shadow of a hostile superpower.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2018年，我們居住的Tower Hamlets地段，在未經通知、無任何諮詢下，被秘密售予中國政府。我們無從置喙，如今更面對一個敵對政權的威脅。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The UK Government is expected to approve plans to build the largest embassy in Europe - right here, at Royal Mint Court, next to the Tower of London… and directly on top of our homes.
</div>
<div>英國政府即將批准於倫敦塔旁的皇家鑄幣廠（Royal Mint Court）興建歐洲最大規模的中國大使館，預定地點正正位於我們所居之上。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not just a planning dispute.
</div>
<div>我們擔憂的不僅是一項城市規劃決策，而是一場關乎國家安全、人身安全與基本權利的危機。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>China has never shown any regard for our safety - and now the Government and the Metropolitan Police have abandoned us too.
</div>
<div>自2018年起，中國政府從未就此提供明確回應，我們甚至不知道會否被驅逐、是否仍能繼續安居於此。而如今，政府與執法機關也對我們置之不理。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are the Royal Mint Court Residents Association. People backed our previous Crowdfunder campaign that helped pay for a barrister to present our evidence including an independent security assessment showing the serious risks to us from a terror attack on the mega-embassy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>我們是「皇家鑄幣廠居民協會」。我們之前的眾籌活動獲得許多人的支持，資助我們聘請資深大律師提交證據，包括一份獨立的安全評估報告，指出超級大使館可能帶來的恐襲風險。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are now launching an urgent legal challenge - a Judicial Review - to change the law and stop this injustice.
</div>
<div>我們現在正展開一項緊急法律挑戰 — 即司法覆核 — 希望改變現行法律，阻止這場不公。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need your help to protect our community from the mighty Chinese Communist Party.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>我們需要你的幫助，去保護我們的社區，免受強大的中國共產黨威脅。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whatever you can spare us, will help David stand-up to Goliath.
</div>
<div>無論你能捐出多少，都能幫助大衛對抗歌利亞。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are seeking to pursue a Judicial Review because we have believed all along that the planning process has been flawed. Here are some of the reasons we think are likely to be relevant:
</div>
<div>我們決定提起司法覆核，是因為我們始終認為整個規劃程序存在問題。以下是我們認為可能相關的一些原因：
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Closed mind”: Ministers may have signalled early approval to China, before formal procedures were followed, breaking the law and abusing planning powers. In a similar vein, objections disappeared after UK ministers returned from Beijing. Residents have felt like pawns in a geopolitical game since the start.
</div>
<div>預設立場：部長們可能在正式程序開始前就向中方表示支持，違反法律並濫用規劃權力。在部長們從北京回來之後，原有的反對聲音突然消失。居民們從一開始就覺得自己成了地緣政治博弈中的棋子。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Security concerns: Building a fortified embassy with homes on site and critical infrastructure nearby, ignoring espionage concerns and the real human risk to dissidents, is indefensible.
</div>
<div>安全隱患：在住宅區內及重要基礎設施附近建設高度防禦的大使館，無視間諜活動與對異見人士的人身威脅，完全不能接受。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Procedural unfairness: We were shut out of the process. No consultation. No transparency. No respect for the people who live here.
</div>
<div>程序不公：我們被完全排除在決策過程之外。無諮詢、無透明、無對居民的尊重。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Legitimate expectation: We were promised due process and protection. We got silence.
</div>
<div>合理期望落空：我們被承諾將獲程序保障與保護，實際卻是得不到任何保障。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What’s wrong with the embassy plan?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We still live here. 100 families. Nurses, teachers, pensioners. Our 100 homes are on land now owned by the Chinese government. That means the Chinese ambassador is our landlord - with rights to enter our homes.
</div>
<div>我們仍然住在這裡 ，足足一百戶家庭，包括護士、教師、退休人士。我們的一百個住所現已位於中國政府擁有的土地上。這代表中國大使成為我們的業主，有權進入我們的住所。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>China refuses to answer us. Since 2018, we’ve begged for assurances: will we be evicted? Will we be safe? Can we stay? Beijing’s answer: not until we get planning permission. This refusal, and the proposal to install a temporary style wooden boundary fence as a dividing line, raises fears that the Chinese Government intends to take back the entire 100 apartments at St Mary Graces Court once they secure diplomatic status for the site, leaving us homeless.
</div>
<div>中國拒絕回應我們的訴求。自2018年起，我們不斷尋求保證：我們會被驅逐嗎？我們是否安全？我們能否繼續居住？北京的答覆是：等規劃許可下來再說。這種拒絕，以及擬議中以臨時木欄分隔的做法，讓我們擔心中國政府一旦取得外交地位，將會收回整個St Mary Graces Court的100個單位，使我們流離失所。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This embassy is a fortress. It’s not a normal diplomatic building. It will have secret communications centres, fortified walls, and surveillance technology that can monitor our entire estate, even our bedrooms. It will also stand on top of critical UK cables that MI5 warn are a security risk to the UK.
</div>
<div>這座大使館是一個堡壘，並非普通的外交建築。它將設有秘密通訊設施、加固圍牆、監控技術，可監視整個屋苑，甚至包括我們的睡房。而它的地基下方，更有英國重要電纜 ，MI5曾警告這是對國家安全的威脅。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The UK Government knows the risk - and ignored it. Our independent security report warns that this site puts families and national security at risk. Even the UK’s Head of Counter-Terrorism originally objected - citing threats to residents and dissidents. But since ministers returned from Beijing, objections have mysteriously vanished.
</div>
<div>英國政府明知有風險，卻選擇無視。我們的獨立安全報告指出，該地點將危害居民與國家安全。甚至連英國反恐部門首長最初也曾反對 ， 指出對居民與異見人士的威脅。但自從部長從北京回來後，這些反對聲音神秘地消失。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ministers made no mention of the 100 families living here. We are alarmed that the letters from Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Foreign Secretary David Lammy have ignored the fact that UK families live in 100 apartments on the land that is actually part of Royal Mint court - and is owned by the Chinese government. Our Resident’s Chairman has personally appealed to ministers, submitted the full Crilly Consultants security report, and our plight has appeared in The Times, FT, BBC, CNN, and more. What is happening to democratic accountability in this country?
</div>
<div>部長們從未提及這裡有一百戶居民。我們對內政大臣Yvette Cooper及外交大臣David Lammy的信件感到震驚，因為他們完全忽略了皇家鑄幣廠的土地上住有英國公民、100個家庭。我們的居民協會主席曾親自致函部長、提交完整的Crilly安全報告，而我們的處境亦已被《泰晤士報》、《金融時報》、BBC、CNN等多間媒體報導。英國民主問責制度何在？
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The first duty of the UK government is to protect its citizens. We understand the UK’s diplomatic obligations - but not at the expense of its own people. The refusal to acknowledge the basic risks of housing a high-security foreign embassy on top of a residential block is deeply troubling. It appears the government is prioritising relations with Beijing over the safety of its own citizens.
</div>
<div>英國政府的首要職責是保護其國民。我們明白外交義務，但不能以犧牲本國人民為代價。將一個高安全級別的外國大使館設於住宅區上方，而拒絕承認基本風險，是極度令人不安的。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s not just about us. Dissidents, including Hong Kongers, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Taiwanese and Chinese exile communities are terrified. They’ve told us they no longer feel safe protesting outside the site, and on British soil. Their presence, and ours, will be met with constant surveillance and intimidation by a regime known to harass and threaten activists - even abroad.
</div>
<div>這件事不僅關係到我們。流亡港人、維吾爾人、西藏人、台灣人及中國異見社群皆感到恐懼。他們表示不再敢在該地點或英國土地上公開抗議。他們與我們一樣，將面對來自這個以恐嚇異見者聞名的政權的持續監控與威嚇。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The people have spoken, and they support us.
</div>
<div>人民已經發聲，並支持我們。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On 8 February 2025, thousands of British citizens - including Hong Kongers, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Taiwanese and Chinese pro-democracy activists, and human rights campaigners - gathered outside Royal Mint Court in protest against this embassy.
</div>
<div>2025年2月8日，數以千計的英國公民 ，包括港人、維吾爾人、西藏人、台灣人、中國民主人士與人權倡議者， 齊集皇家鑄幣廠，抗議中國大使館計劃。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They were joined by cross-party MPs, journalists, and allies. Together, they said NO to the Chinese embassy, and YES to democratic values, safety, and justice.
</div>
<div>他們與跨黨派議員、記者及盟友並肩站立，一同說出明確立場：反對中國大使館，支持民主、安全與公義。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Further mass protests followed on 15 March, 3 May, and 14 June - showing growing national resistance to the plan.
</div>
<div>3月15日、5月3日及6月14日亦舉行後續大型集會，反對聲浪日益壯大。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They continue to protest, and have made it clear: they won’t stop until this mega-embassy deal is over.
</div>
<div>抗議仍在持續，並清楚表示：他們不會停止，直至該項目取消為止。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the Government is not listening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>但政府並未聆聽我們的訴求。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So now, we go to court.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>所以現在，我們只有訴諸法庭。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we need your help - fast.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>但我們需要您的協助 - 迅速的協助。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The legal fees for a Judicial Review are beyond the reach of ordinary families. But with your help, we can stand up to both Beijing and Whitehall.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>司法覆核的法律費用遠超普通家庭的負擔。但在您的幫助下，我們能夠與北京和英國政府對抗。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This case is about more than one building. It’s about:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>這宗案件關乎的遠不止一座建築。它關乎：
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Protecting British citizens from state overreach
</div>
<div>保護英國公民免受國家權力的侵害
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Defending UK democracy from foreign influence
</div>
<div>捍衛英國的民主，抵抗外國影響
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Challenging backroom deals that put power over people
</div>
<div>挑戰那些將權力凌駕於人民之上的秘密交易
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we succeed, we won’t just protect our homes. We’ll set a precedent that no foreign government can build on British soil without respecting British citizens and British values.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>如若成功，我們不僅能保護我們的家園，我們更是創下先例：任何外國政府不得在罔顧英國公民和英國價值的前提下在英國土地上建造任何建築。
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Will you stand with us?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>您願意與我們並肩作戰嗎？
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please chip in whatever you can. £10. £100. £1,000. Every penny goes to legal costs to take this to court. We are a group of teachers, nurses, shop workers and pensioners. We don’t have the Chinese Communist Party’s millions - but with your help, we do have people power.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>請您捐出任何您能負擔的金額 — 不論是 £10，£100 還是 £1,000。每一分錢都將用於支付法律費用，讓我們將此案帶上法庭。我們只是一群教師、護士、店員和退休人士。雖然我們沒有中國共產黨的龐大資金 — 但在您的幫助下，我們擁有的是人民的力量。
