Canada police say they are 'conducting investigations targeting alleged Chinese police stations in Quebec'
Police in Canada have said they are investigating allegations that two Montreal-area centres are being used as Chinese "police stations" to intimidate or harass Canadians of Chinese origin.
The investigation adds to mounting allegations of Chinese interference in Canada's internal affairs, including accusations by Ottawa that Beijing tried to influence the last two Canadian elections. China has denied those accusations. In November, the RCMP in Ontario, Canada's most populous province, also launched an investigation into similar reports of Chinese "police service stations" in the Toronto area. The Ontario RCMP did not respond to a request for information on that probe.
"These activities and any other form of intimidation, harassment or harmful targeting of diaspora communities or individuals in Canada will not be tolerated," the RCMP said.
