This is pretty crazy if true. I wonder if it has any connections to the alleged "ghost" CCP police stations that were reported around in Canada. I believe it was being claimed the stations were being used to bully Chinese people that were in Canada.

Just saw an investigative piece about the chinese shadowpolice in germany by a reputable reporter-team. I am convinced they exist.
