(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Experts say that the U.S. government must immediately investigate and get rid of the recently discovered overseas Chinese government police station in the city of New York for potential violation of laws, according to the Daily Caller.
Human rights organization Safeguard Defenders revealed in their September report that, in 2022, the Chinese Communist Party created secret police stations in over 100 cities around the world to intimidate and harass Chinese people overseas.
“This is a disgrace. How in God’s name could they openly have these communist police stations in our country?” Beau Dietl, a retired NYPD detective and current head of Beau Dietl & Associates private investigation firm, said.
“Let’s try and go to Beijing and open up an American police station over there. The government of the United States should deal with this and throw them the hell out.”
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs gaslighted people from other countries by denying the existence of the police stations, instead calling them overseas “service centers.”
But these are not the only things they do. They also conduct “foreign strike operations” against individuals who run afoul of the CCP by intimidating, blackmailing and forcibly arresting them. These operations aim to crack down on drug smuggling and telecommunications fraud, CCP says.
“There has been a noticeable uptick in incidents where the Chinese government is targeting people on other nations’ soil,” Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Jim Risch of Idaho, who also serves on the Senate’s intelligence committee, said.
“This shows the Chinese Communist Party is not afraid to exert its will outside of China, and we should do all that we can to counter this behavior.”
The police stations are still active, even though 20 members of Congress urged Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Attorney General Merrick Garland to take action in an October letter.
“We should not allow China to export its coercive and aggressive tactics anywhere in the United States. They most certainly should not be allowed to exercise extraterritorial law enforcement on American soil,” Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado, who signed the letter, said.
“My colleagues and I join other nations in calling for these unlawful activities to be shut down immediately and demand accountability from the Biden Administration as to why they were even allowed in the first place.”
Other countries, like Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Canada and Germany raised the alarm after the report by Safeguard Defenders was released.
