Officers without borders

The U.S. and governments in Europe and the Americas are investigating alleged Chinese secret police stations operating on their soil after the Madrid-based rights group Safeguard Defenders reported that China is carrying out “illegal, transnational policing operations” from more than 50 so-called police service stations in 30 countries. Beijing says the stations were set up to provide essential services to Chinese citizens overseas, but the rights group says they are used to coerce emigrants into returning home to face criminal charges and to silence dissent abroad.
