Spread of Chinese ‘overseas police service stations’ around the world raises concerns among human rights campaigners

Dublin Theatre Festival 2022: In Edna O’Brien’s new play, the epiphany James Joyce sought never comes

But globally, the emergence of these stations have caused serious concern among human rights campaigners who fear Chinese security services are using them as a way of monitoring and controlling China’s large diaspora. In 2018, a Chinese national accused of theft was identified by a Chinese police service station in Belgrade, Serbia as living in the country. According to Chinese government documents, the man was brought to the service station where he communicated with police back home over video-link. He initially did not want to return but after a week of talking to police, he agreed to come back to China. The Chinese police pointed to the operation as an example of the system’s success.

Another account boasts of the authorities’ ability to carry out “systematic inspections” abroad and ensure the “smooth surrender” of Chinese criminals using the stations. In a new report on the stations, Safeguard Defenders said “persuasion” tactics used by Chinese police on overseas residents “eschew official bilateral police and judicial co-operation and violate the international rule of law”.

To intimidate local Chinese

Time for a not so friendly chat with the Chinese Ambassador here - covid denials still linger in mind.

Can't be legal..?

These are being set up in every country to coerce Chinese people living there to not say anything negative about the Chinese Communist Party. The CCP shouldn't be allowed to control the freedom of expression of any person in Ireland.

The services mentioned are ones covered by an embassy, having a foreign police force ('volunteer' is bs) on our soil is completely unacceptable as a sovereign State.

radiokerrynews RTE_PrimeTime HMcEntee JamesBrowneTD dfatirl SafeguardDefend Has the presence of this foreign police office in Ireland been approved by the government? If the Gardai wanted to open a corresponding office in China would it be allowed?

This is a spy Centre. It's so blatantly obvious but brilliant by the Chinese!

So they call em the fuz as well then?

And if you say the CCP has infiltrated most Irish Institutions you're a racist, right?

Just ask Hazel Chu.

Probably can’t rely on our force to protect them!!!

Why is the IT stealing work from griptmedia without so much as an acknowledgement?

That's nothing, there's a secret Cuban embassy in South Killiney

IS this related to the IT article about spying being a security threat to Ireland?

Hmmmmmm 🤔 maybe I should open my own police station too 🤪😂

Very interesting article ConorGallaghe_r

Why are there British police outposts across the north of Ireland? Weird that the Irish times isn’t asking that
