A human rights organization, Safeguard Defenders, reported Monday that 48 additional Chinese police service stations were operating illegally on foreign soil.
Through its "110 Overseas" campaign, the Chinese Foreign Ministry of Security has persuaded over 230,000 overseas Chinese suspects to return to the mainland and face criminal charges."The numbers and scale speak for themselves," she said.
China’s Foreign Ministry has denied that it's running undeclared police forces and said the locations provide services to its citizens living abroad, like renewing IDs and driver's licenses. However, the newly reported stations were set up as early as 2016, according to Safeguard Defenders' investigation, disputing China’s statements that the operations were started in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At least 13 countries, including Canada, Germany and the Netherlands, have begun investigations into these police stations following the initial reporting of their existence,. The U.S. was also included on the list, but it's not clear what steps the government is taking to look into the issue. Suspects in telecoms scams are brought back to China from Cambodia as the CCP cracks down on fraud committed by its citizens overseas.
