U.S. law enforcement officials have arrested two New York residents for allegedly operating a Chinese "secret police station" in Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood, the top federal prosecutor in Brooklyn said in a statement on Monday.
If it's the sinister plot that the CCPP has deployed in Canada, then a "secret police station" means an office in a foreign country where you can feed information to the Chinese government. Information like:
requesting an application for a permit
filing your Chinese taxes
asking questions about Chinese business law relevant to doing international business that includes China
Which honestly, I’m surprised most major cities around the world don’t have offices like that for most major countries. I’ve always thought it was weird how there aren’t multiple embassies around large countries, you expect me to go to DC if I need anything?
many countries do have embassies/diplomatic offices in cities outside dc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diplomatic_missions_in_the_United_States nyc, chicago, and la all have a shitload but there are a bunch in other cities too
If anything, from the article, it sounds like these guys were being private investigators for China, but that's not as terrifying as 'Secret Police Stations!"
WTF does this even mean? What is a “secret police station”? Huh?
