“Spread of Chinese ‘overseas police service stations’ around the world raises concerns among human rights campaigners
The police service station refers to **a new initiative by the city’s Public Security Bureau to open dozens of virtual police outposts around the world.**
The Fuzhou police says it has already opened 30 such stations in 21 countries. Other Chinese cities and provinces also operate their own stations.
**Globally, the emergence of these stations have caused serious concern among human rights campaigners who fear Chinese security services are using them as a way of monitoring and controlling China’s large diaspora.**
**These concerns centre on the practice employed by Chinese police forces of “persuading” people who have fled abroad to return home to face punishment.**
**This persuasion involves police talking to them over the phone or via video-link at these police outposts.**
**But it can also include denying education to suspects’ children and refusing family members the right to open a business, campaigners say.**
**Family members can also be punished if they refuse to take part in efforts to persuade suspects to return, government documents show.**
In short, these Chinese Police Outposts are illegal AND extremely dangerous (you’re chinese AND have criticised Xi? Dragged in and tortured until you go back to China).
Obviously, someone didn’t follow the legendary six-step ritual, counting the 119.5 seconds it takes to pour a pint of Guinness.
These seem like good places to complain about your local Chinese takeaway.
Because CCP money.
Shut it down. No question asked, just shut it down.
