Reports of Chinese police stations in US worry FBI

18 November 2022

The FBI is "concerned" by reports that secret "police stations" linked to China have been set up across the US.

A September report issued by the NGO Safeguard Defenders revealed the presence of these stations around the world, including in New York.

The FBI's director, Christopher Wray, told senior politicians that the agency was monitoring reports of such centres across the country.

"We are aware of the existence of these stations," Mr Wray said.

"To me, it is outrageous to think that the Chinese police would attempt to set up shop, you know, in New York, let's say, without proper coordination," he added. "It violates sovereignty and circumvents standard judicial and law enforcement cooperation processes."

Worth finding on NPR's web site

3. As it SHOULD.. This shit should NOT be allowed here. STOP it.

Ignoring these types of things just makes the Chinese think we are weak. They & the Russians view any leeway as "weakness".
The administration needs to put a stop to this right now. And its just more fuel for the GOP

4. Infiltration. They need to be shut down & all chinese personnel associated w them expelled asap

6. They see freedom as a weakness...

which is why both of those countries control the information to which their citizens have access. Ignorance is bliss, in their estimation.

5. This is a diversion from Christopher Wray.

he lied to Congress about 1/6. He is using the threat of China (a real threat) to divert attention away from his response, non-response to 1/6.

Christopher Wray needs to be investigated. Christopher Wray should be investigating Ginni Thomas, there is plenty of evidence that she conspired to overthrow our election.

7. Yup.

Sometimes I think he's a mole.

8. Is Sammo Hung back doing cop-work in the USA? (Martial Law reference)

9. Issue was raised in Canada a month ago. There may be about 11 here. They pressurize expats

The idea is that the "stations" (offices) are there to help Chinese expats and family living abroad to handle "paperwork" with China.

Of course though, the Chinese state and army and party work by pressuring those people to report on each other ("social credit&quot . Further espionage on industries. Plus they fight dissidents with surveillance and blackmailing associates, etc.

10. When Hong Kong was about to be turned over to the Chinese govt by the UK, a lot of people...

… went to Canada, some sending their kids on ahead. That generation clearly wanted to avoid being ruled by the People’s Republic.

It’s chilling to think that their lives will also be interfered with.
