Chinese 'police stations' in US accused of spying and influence operations.
The recent arrests of two Americans for operating a secret Chinese police station in New York City and the charging of 44 Chinese officials for enforcing Chinese laws on U.S. soil have shed light on China's vast network of influence operations. The Chinese Ministry of Public Security has established over 100 illegal police stations around the world, often working through local proxy organizations. Tracking foreign-influence operations requires sensitivity, but confronting CCP influence operations is crucial to guarding U.S. sovereignty and protecting vulnerable people from persecution.
