Concerns among human rights activists have been raised by the Chinese government’s opening of several illegal police stations around the world, especially in affluent nations like Canada and Ireland, as part of its effort to become a worldwide powerhouse. Investigative Journalism Reportika cited local media as saying that such informal police service stations connected to the Public Security Bureau (PSB) in Canada had been established to enrage China’s rivals.
The Public Security Bureau (PSB) and Fuzhou have reportedly partnered to construct unofficial police service stations across Canada. Only the Greater Toronto Area has any of these stations—at least three of them.
Additionally, according to Investigative Journalism Reportika, the Chinese government is using these unlawful police stations to influence elections in other nations.
The Fuzhou police claim to have already established 30 such stations in 21 nations.
Such agreements are in place for Chinese police stations in nations like Ukraine, France, Spain, Germany, and the UK, and the leaders of the majority of these nations openly criticise China’s ascent and its deteriorating human rights records while also contributing to the problem.
Human rights activists have accused the Communist Party of China, which is currently in power, of perpetrating extensive violations of human rights all around the nation in the name of security, including imprisoning people in internment camps, severing families, and performing forcible sterilisation.
China, on the other hand, claims that these establishments are “vocational skills training centres” that are essential to “fight” extremism and raise living standards. Late in 2019, Chinese officials claimed that the majority of “trainees” had “graduated” from the centres.
Michelle Bachelet, the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the United Nations, recently travelled to Xinjiang and China.
