I’m seeing all these articles about overseas Chinese police stations and :cracker: s are acting as if they uncovered underground Fallout-style spy rings or something. Does anyone know what they are actually for? I’m assuming they’re just there to work alongside the local police departments like they have in various African nations.

    This shit is going to get people hurt. Go to the :reddit-logo: thread and there are people calling for executions and saying they are going to go to these offices to defend their holy land.

      This sounds like the anti-Islam panics of the '00s. "Ground Zero Mosque", the Sharia Law freak out, No Go Zones, etc.

      It spurred a ton of violence and bigotry, even beyond all the wars.

      Yeah the article about it from PBS says that a shop-owner in Portugal was accused by police iirc of being a Chinese government official, because he was Chinese. :doomer:
