Chinese Extrajudicial Police Stations in United States are Targeting Dissidents says FBI Director, “Very Concerning”

While testifying to lawmakers on the U.S Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in Congress on Thursday, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that the United States is "deeply concerned" about Chinese unauthorized police stations operating in U.S. cities and exerting influence. "We are aware of the existence of these stations… It violates sovereignty and circumvents standard judicial and law enforcement cooperation processes… I had to be careful about discussing our specific investigative work, but to me it is outrageous to think that the Chinese police would attempt to set up shop in New York, let's say, without proper coordination." He noted several recent indictments and said, "The reason this is so important is because we have seen a clear pattern of the Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party, exporting their repression right here into the U.S." Wray said the United States had made a number of indictments involving the Chinese government harassing, stalking, surveilling, and blackmailing people in the United States who disagreed with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
