News Japan looking into China's secret police stations

thomas · 22 Dec 2022

Since October, global media have started reporting on China's secret police stations that monitor Chinese dissidents living overseas. Japanese authorities are investigating a report from a human rights group that China has set up police offices in Japan, too, a top government spokesperson said today. Japan follows similar checks by European countries, the United States and Canada.

The first report surfaced in the Netherlands:

China accused of operating 'secret police stations' in the Netherlands

NGOs say the illegal posts are used to monitor and silence political opponents and dissidents abroad. Beijing rejects the claims.

Allegedly, some are about to be closed:

Beijing has been accused of setting up more than 50 illegal centres in Europe to harass dissidents.

Tokyo was among a total of 102 locations in at least 53 countries around the world where such stations are located, according to the report published by a Spanish human-rights watchdog and shared in a meeting with ruling Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers. The government has, through diplomatic channels, already relayed to Beijing that any activities conducted that could infringe on Japan's sovereignty are "absolutely unacceptable." The police station is believed to have been set up with the involvement of the public security bureau of Fuzhou in China's Fujian Province. Another station, set up by the Nantong public security bureau in Jiangsu Province, is believed to exist in Japan in an unknown location.

Hard to believe. Do you have a link to that (besides FB or Telegram)?

musicisgood · 23 Dec 2022

Not at the moment. But there was a writing about it a month ago . My understanding is nothing is being done about it in the States so far.

The only reference to Biden was, of course, on Fox News.

"The Department of Justice and State Department must explain why the Biden administration has allowed CCP police to set up an office on U.S. soil," Banks told Fox News Digital in a statement.

Yes. It might be in the U.S. interest to let them operate.

Grandpa Frank · 25 Dec 2022

We used to joke about the NSA that if a commie farted they would know what he had to eat earlier. The amount of coded material we sent them each day from spy bases around the world must have been incredible to deal with and decode. Now about 80% of intel gathering is done by satellites and was a major reason for creating the "Space Force".
