The Long Arm of the Chinese Communist Party CCP seems to be reaching across the world, and right in the middle of New York City, a Chinese police station can now be seen.
It is one of the more than 100 police stations that the PCCH installed around the world, its presence was received with indignation by US legislators demanding that Attorney General Merrick Garland and Secretary of State Antony Blinken say that "there should be no room for the CCP exercise the application of its law and the American soil”.
The police station or police post is called an overseas police service station,
it is located inside the headquarters of the non-profit Chang-Le American Association and offers “a Social Meeting place for Chinese citizens” But some of the photos on its website seem to suggest close ties to the communist regime .
The program purportedly helped Chinese citizens renew their ID cards and driver's licenses during the "pandemic," but some say these overseas police offices serve more sinister purposes, according to the human rights-focused NGO Safeguard Defenders. these police stations spy on dissidents abroad and arrest or forcibly return them to China.
The organization reported that between April 2021 and July 2022 more than 200,000 foreign nationals were returned to the Chinese force, a Safeguard Defenders spokeswoman described the overseas stations as illegal under international law she told Fox news, which she thinks show the shameless the CCP is getting and how little respect they have for other governments.
Chinese infiltration is present in almost all countries, Spain is the country with the most Chinese police stations in the world, experts say that these operations are a violation of the country's sovereignty and that they could be used for espionage.
