China hits back at FBI claim of unauthorized ‘police stations’ in US
Christopher Wray called foreign police presence in US ‘outrageous’ but Chinese embassy says sites are volunteer-run
China has contested claims it was operating unauthorized “police stations” on US soil, calling the sites volunteer-run, after the FBI director said he was “very concerned” about unauthorized stations that have been linked to Beijing’s influence operations.
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.
