I thought this deserved its own topic.
Apparently, China has set up many of these “police stations” in several foreign countries.
The original story is from the New York Post, a paper with a history of sensationalism and writing right-wing BS.

The story is based on a report from a small human rights organization called Safeguard Defenders.
The only other references that I could see were other right-wing media outlets picking it up.
Why is that? I think it is likely because there’s not much meat behind the story…. it comes from a dubious source with zero specifics as to what these alleged police stations are doing.
Could it be true? Of course! China isn’t a fair or reasonable actor.
Should you believe it? Probably not yet, in my opinion.
I would tend to agree if it wasn't the G&M reporting it as well. It will make good election fodder and the government better have some believable answers.
Accurate or not, waldo doesn't seem to have a problem with the idea.
