Source: reuters

FBI Director Christopher Wray told a Senate hearing on Thursday that it was "outrageous" that the Chinese government would attempt to set up a police presence in the United States, saying it "violates sovereignty and circumvents standard judicial and law enforcement cooperation processes."

There are locations of overseas police stations here with phone numbers, this was advertised on a Chinese Canadian website:

It includes 30 stations all over the world from France to US to Brazil, etc.

The names of countries are in Chinese but the addresses and phone numbers should be readable to English speakers.

this is outrageous, and this is broad daylight kidnapping.

Western countries have to deport these "foreign agents" and revoke their citizenship if they have one ASAP. This is like Red Guards grabbing and beating someone in China, the difference is that this is in the UK. It won't really be any different in other EU countries or in the US, Canada, Australia etc. because the governments of western countries atm just care about the capital and real estate investment coming from rich Chinese. It'll be too late when the general population realizes that they have Pro-CCP militias patrolling their streets, lynching anybody who dares to criticize the CCP.

Chinese police establish stations overseas in 'worrying' crackdown on citizens abroad

Source: the globe and mail

the reports said, the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau (PSB) has also established more than 50 police “service stations” across five continents, including at least three in the Greater Toronto Area, according to a list shared by Chinese media.

Such offices are ostensibly to assist Chinese nationals with matters such as filing local police reports or renewing driver’s licences. But reports in Chinese media and official government pronouncements suggest they often overstep that purview, even going so far as “persuading” alleged criminals to return to China to face justice, according to new research by Safeguard Defenders, a European NGO.
