WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is deeply concerned about the Chinese government setting up unauthorized 'police stations' in U.S. cities to possibly pursue influence operations, FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers on Thursday.
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.
"But to me, it is outrageous to think that the Chinese police would attempt to set up shop, you know, in New York, let's say, without proper coordination. It violates sovereignty and circumvents standard judicial and law enforcement cooperation processes."
Wray said the United States had made a number of indictments involving the Chinese government harassing, stalking, surveilling, and blackmailing people in the United States who disagreed with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

If he can't even tell the truth about that when directly caught in it, how can we trust a thing he says about anything, especially the more serious stuff?

Average citizens still don't comprehend that China OWNS entire swaths of humanity here in the United States. Listen to some of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's speeches. The Trump admin knew this well. It's also documented that the Biden family is controlled by China entities.

You Americans are funny,
Rest of the world is slightly concerned about your military bases everywhere.
