FBI director 'very concerned' by Chinese 'police stations' in U.SU.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on "Security threats to the United States", in Washington Michael Martina and Ted Hesson Thu, November 17, 2022 at 4:14 PM WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is deeply concerned about the Chinese government setting up unauthorized 'police stations' in U.S. cities to possibly pursue influence operations, FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers on Thursday. Safeguard Defenders, a Europe-based human rights organization, published a report in September revealing the presence of dozens of Chinese police "service stations" in major cities around the world, including New York. Republicans in Congress have requested answers from the Biden administration about their influence. The report said the stations were an extension of Beijing's efforts to pressure some Chinese nationals or their relatives abroad to return to China to face criminal charges. It also linked them to activities of China's United Front Work Department, a Communist Party body charged with spreading its influence and propaganda overseas. "I'm very concerned about this. We are aware of the existence of these stations," Wray told a U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing, acknowledging but declining to detail the FBI's investigative work on the issue. "But to me, it is outrageous to think that the Chinese police would attempt to set up shop, you know, in New York, let's say, without proper coordination. It violates sovereignty and circumvents standard judicial and law enforcement cooperation processes." Wray, asked by Republican Senator Rick Scott if such stations violated U.S. law, said the FBI was "looking into the legal parameters." Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives, including Greg Murphy and Mike Waltz, sent letters to the Justice Department in October asking if President Joe Biden's administration was investigating such stations and arguing they could be used to intimidate U.S. residents of Chinese origin. China's embassy in Washington did not respond immediately to a request for comment. Earlier this month, its foreign ministry denied it had such stations in the Netherlands after a probe by Dutch authorities. China said they were offices to help Chinese citizens renew documents. 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. "It's a real problem and something that we're talking with our foreign partners about, as well, because we're not the only country where this has occurred," he said. The United States unsealed criminal charges in October against seven Chinese nationals accused of waging a surveillance and harassment campaign against a U.S. resident and his family in a bid by the Chinese government to repatriate one of them back to China. It was the latest case by the Justice Department targeting China's effort to track down people overseas who Beijing calls criminal suspects, known as "Operation Fox Hunt."

How is it racist? Our police lack jurisdiction from one county to the next, much less in other states & countries. The Chinese have no power to enforce their laws in our nation |

you so often miss my irony
IF Trump had said anything similar, it's of course racism at it's height.
But this little corrupt POS and others allow the Chinese Govt to run wild here and abroad, but we're supposed to take his concern seriously now?

No. Other nations shouldn't be running operations here outside of embassies which are in a limited number of areas. That's National sovereignty. Look at you. Its capitalism. Chinese businessmen have the money to buy property here, they can buy property here. People can do what they want with their property. This runs into the issue of sovereignty/spying. You can do what you want on your land until it's illegal, then the government can confiscate the land & arrest you. |

National sovereignty? Sounds like Nationalism to me!  You big Nazi! How dare you oppose open borders and the globalist agenda.
A simple law being passed restricting property ownership to only Americans solves that. But we're not even all that supportive of property ownership anymore, right? Renters unite?
This Govt has sold us out. Enjoy the future.

So NOW you want to tell land owners who they can sell property to? COMMUNIST! |

hey, you're one of the renters all worried about Blackrock or other large entities buying up everything and raising prices.
Why would keeping foreigners out of property owning be a detriment to our own national security?

Dude, I think it SHOULD be Americans, but it never has been. Outsiders have been buying land here for as long as we've existed. Someone talked about Canadians being property in Florida & staying there the 6 months they are allowed to stay & then never leaving after a few years |

And that could all be changed with a bit of legislation.

The man is mentally ill. Bipolar is the usual claim. He is apparently not taking his meds. You have expressed the mentally ill don't need medication. Republicans have been thrilled to drag a popular black celebrity around as proof they aren't racist because his own racism against Jewish people feeds into the antisemitism that runs through segments of their supporters. |

He is all of that..........and still a black man.
I have expressed that the mentally ill too often refuse to stay on their meds. You know this to be true, too.
No, it doesn't work that way. You don't give Trump or others credit for being OK with Kanye or tons of other blacks. THAT doesn't mean they gotta agree on every subject, though. Trump is racist against Jews?, but his daughter is married to one? The guy he also picked for a lot of work in his administration? See? It just doesn't add up.........but you and the MSM will keep repeating this garbage. Sorta like Hillary being a soulless c*nt gets repeated.

Because my husband was OK to work with blacks & Mexicans & Asians as individuals, but in abstract? Other drivers? People who pissed him off? Jungle bunny, n****r, c***k, b***er, c**t. Me or his own mom & his kid pissed him off & we were all bitched Women who didn't do what he wanted who told him to fuck off & die? "What that bitch needs is a good fuck" Or "Must be on the rag" My father loved my sister & I, but hated kids otherwise. How is that so hard to understand? |

What do you expect when someone pisses you off? See? He was an equal opportunity offender.
Another good example. It is possible to be OK with a person or groups in general.......but some others within that group? Not so much.
I don't like PEOPLE in general. I'm all inclusive in my approach.  |
