Report has it that in its effort to tackle the increasing criminal activities of its citizens abroad, the Chinese government has opened police stations in Nigeria and in over 20 countries in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa .
This was contained in an investigative statement titled, ‘110 Overseas Chinese Transnational Policing Gone Wild.’
It was reported that the police stations are created to bring down on all kinds of illegal and criminal activities involving overseas Chinese.
Apart from Nigeria, Lesotho and Tanzania are the two other African countries that have Chinese police stations.
The report by Safeguard Defender revealed, that rather than cooperating with local authorities in the full respect of territorial sovereignty, it prefers…to cooperate with (United Front-linked) overseas ‘NGOs’ or ‘civil society associations’ across the five continents, setting up an alternative policing and judicial system within third countries, and directly implicating those organisations in the illegal methods employed to pursue fugitives.
It further said that as part of a massive nationwide campaign to combat fraud and telecommunication fraud by Chinese citizens living abroad, Chinese authorities claimed that from April 2021 to July 2022, 230,000 nationals had been, persuaded to return to face criminal proceedings in China.
China’s official statements clarified the use of depriving suspects’ children of the right to education back in China and other actions against relatives and family members in a full-on guilt by association” campaign.
The rights group revealed that China selected nine countries to hunt down those accused of fraud and telecommunications fraud. China identified nine countries particularly prone to hosting Chinese nationals engaging in such criminal activities.
