SHUT THEM DOWN: More Chinese secret police stations reportedly found, prompting call for consulate closures
China's reported overseas police stations latest iteration of China's long history engaging in influence, interference abroad: human rights advocate
Countries should shut down Chinese consulates until the communist regime closes its network of illegal policing operations, a former deputy national security adviser said after nearly 50 additional stations were reportedly found.
"China’s overseas police stations are one of several ways Beijing is eroding our national sovereignty and depriving ethnic Chinese, in particular, of their rights as citizens of democracies," China program chair at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Matt Pottinger, told Fox News. "Democracies should shutter China's consulates until Beijing withdraws its illegal and extraterritorial law enforcers in our borders."
Safeguard Defenders, a pan-Asian human rights organization, published an investigation Monday, called "Patrol and Persuade," reporting that another 48 Chinese police service stations were operating abroad in addition to the 54 the group had identified in September. The reported locations span 53 countries, including four U.S.-based stations: two in New York City, one in Los Angeles and one set up by the Nantong Public Security Bureau in an undisclosed location.
