ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 The fight against China\u2019s growing global network of illegal police outposts has finally heated up here in the United States with the FBI raiding the large Chinese station in New York City (NYC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the mission the FBI should be focused on, rather than raiding pro-life activists or colluding with Big Tech to censor Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve written about these extraterritorial Chinese police stations several times, highlighting the ones in NYC, as well as those in Canada and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beijing says these outposts aren\u2019t doing any police work, only helping Chinese citizens abroad, but Chinese state media reports that they in fact \u201ccollect intelligence\u201d and solve crimes far outside their jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they do far more than that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are accused of conducting illegal surveillance on legal U.S. residents and citizens of Chinese extraction and intimidating, threatening, and coercing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, they have reportedly even kidnapped people outside of China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According<\/a> to the New York Times (NYT), the FBI raided the suspected Chinese police outpost, hidden in New York City\u2019s Chinatown last fall, seizing materials from one of the secretive operations for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chinatown outpost was on the third floor of a six-story office building on a busy street. It was raided by FBI counterintelligence agents working on a criminal investigation with the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, as the NYT reports, the Chinese Embassy in Washington downplayed the outposts, claiming they are staffed by volunteers who help Chinese nationals perform routine tasks like renewing their Chinese driver\u2019s licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the official Chinese denials, the NYT reports, \u201cWestern officials see the outposts as part of Beijing\u2019s larger drive to keep tabs on Chinese nationals abroad, including dissidents. The most notorious such effort is known as Operation Fox Hunt, in which Chinese officials hunt down fugitives abroad and pressure them to return home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October, prosecutors in Brooklyn \u2014 the same office that searched the New York office \u2014 charged seven Chinese nationals with harassing a U.S. resident and his son, pressuring the man to return to China to face criminal charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported by the NYT, \u201cIt\u2019s outrageous that China thinks it can come to our shores, conduct illegal operations and bend people here in the United States to their will,\u201d FBI Director Christopher Wray said in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least 102 such outposts have been documented<\/a> in 53 countries in recent months by the human rights group Safeguard Defenders. Wray said in November that he\u2019s \u201cvery concerned\u201d about the outposts, which he called \u201cpolice stations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a long-arm power to show their own citizens inside China that their government is so strong,\u201d said Safeguard Defenders researcher Chen Yen-ting. \u201cWe have the power to reach globally, and even if you go out, you\u2019re still under our control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These outposts are ostensibly set up by local Chinese municipalities or regions. At least four Chinese localities \u2014 Fuzhou, Qingtian, Nantong and Wenzhou \u2014 have reportedly set up dozens of foreign police outposts in Japan, Italy, France, Britain, Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and other nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These don\u2019t include the ones in Canada and the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s hope the FBI keeps up the pressure on illegal Chinese police activity in the U.S., and the State Department gets involved in controlling any Chinese entities and personnel it has allowed to enter and operate on U.S. soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communist Chinese influence and subversion in the U.S. is the greatest\u00a0domestic threat we face, not Americans exercising their constitutionally protected right to free speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
