China has secret police stations embedded in America. They use their “overseas service stations” for aggressive operations to “persuade” fugitive dissidents to “voluntarily” go back. Human rights advocates call it a “dangerous expansion of the regime’s international reach.”
Chinese Secret Police in America
Last month, a “pan-Asian human rights organization,” called Safeguard Defenders, made public an investigation “detailing a Chinese campaign to combat ‘fraud and telecom fraud‘ crimes committed by its citizens living abroad.” While that sounds harmless enough, the spooky part is that “the Chinese Communist Party has established at least 54 police stations across 30 different countries” to do it.
There’s one in New York City and a total of four across “North America.” According to Laura Harth, “I think it shows how brazen the CCP is getting and how little regard they have for other governments. It’s in violation of international law, it’s in violation of territorial sovereignty.”
The secret police stations allow them to bring Chinese law around the globe to violate human rights at will. The Ministry of Public Security in China admits that “since the campaign launched in April 2021, 230,000 Chinese nationals have been ‘persuaded to return‘ home to face criminal prosecution.”
Harth explains that what’s really happening is they are intimidating dissidents into silence. “A big part of this transnational policing repression campaign is also aiming at silencing the community, silencing dissent, making sure that people are afraid enough.”
Its common for their secret police to use tactics like “threatening and intimidating family members in China.” If that doesn’t work, “a suspect’s children can be banned from attending school, and their family’s bank accounts can be frozen and their property confiscated.”
Other dirty tricks include “they will interrogate people, maybe detain people. There’s also guilt by association. There are accounts of people being prosecuted or arrested for the presumed charges against their family members” abroad.
Nothing too harsh
China, Ms. Harth advises, will “do anything really to convince them to persuade their family members to come back. Nothing seems to be too impressive or too harsh” for the Pooh Bear. After they use all the torture techniques they can on relatives in China, the CCP will call in the secret police.
They will “deploy its international officers to directly approach the suspect.” They love to twist arms, calling it “persuasion.” They do it for a reason. “That’s a clear message to anyone seeking to leave China, already having left China, that you’re not safe anywhere.”
They have ways of “extraditing” their dissidents in with secret police missions which “operate without knowledge or approval from the local government.” Sort of like “kidnapping.”
They stick a bag over your head and throw you in a van. Next thing you know, you’re headed for Beijing labeled “air cargo.” Obviously, that’s illegal. It has Ms. Harth ready to pop an artery.
“This is obviously completely illegal. This is no regular international police cooperation,” she declares, stomping her foot. “These have been set up without any knowledge of local authorities, without any requests.” The Chinese government denies everything. Nancy Pelosi is on their target list if they can get her away from her security team long enough to snatch her.
“The Chinese government has claimed that the stations provide services to its citizens living abroad, like renewing IDs and driver’s licenses.” Sorry Mr. Dissident, we need you back in China to renew that license, come with us please.
