History of the building

I suggest adding a section describing the history of the building, from the time when it was the Chinese (Qing) Legation in the nineteenth century onwards. There is a particularly interesting episode of history when Dr Sun Yat-sen, the father of Republican China, was kidnapped in the very building. He was rescued by his friend Dr James Cantlie.

It would also be interesting is see a section on when the embassy represented the Republic of China (1912 - 1949) and what happened to the building when the UK recognised the People's Republic of China, if anything of note happened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.206.149.67 (talk) 18:16, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
