"Since 9/11, the NYPD has embedded intelligence officers in 13 locations including London, Paris, Jerusalem, Amman, Madrid, Toronto, and as far away as Sydney." -https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nypd-stationed-overseas-increasing-global-terror-threat/1151214/

A friend of mine (and his girlfriend) went to teach English in China for a year and while their blogged about their experience. They had had their blog before they even thought about doing this and when they were not trying to hide anything, but the blog site they used was blocked for citizens of China. Well, turns out someone at the school  where they taught contacted a friend who worked in their embassy in Canada and had them print out their blog and fax it back them. My friend found out about this when the school accused them of spreading lies about the school. They ended up cutting their year short and basically fled the country because the school was threatening to have them arrested.

Yeah, came up in the news here in Canada recently.   Not that the current government will do anything about it, but hey, at least we know

They aren't being sneaky about it.  It is done with the full cooperation and permission of the host country and they work within that country's legal system.  The Chinese operatives open fake cultural centers and harass and threaten the Chinese community.  They do not work with local law enforcement.  They are, in fact, working outside of any legal jurisdiction.

So fark off and stop humping Xi the Pooh.

Police...Intelligence...

Nah, I don't buy it.

aimed at coercing those suspected of speaking out against the Chinese regime to return home
he said he was urged to return to China to "sort out my problems"


Yeah I'm sure they'll get right on that.

You omitted the important part:

"During the conversation, he said he was urged to return to China to 'sort out my problems. And to think about my parents'."

It works plenty, either to get them back to China, or to get them to shut up.

please: My brother came back from China with a wife. She is paranoid about this kinda thing. We thought she was a little cuckoo, I guess not!


No, she's not.
Someone like this is doing the cold calls too. I've been getting calls in Ottawa, maybe every couple of months or so, for last 2-3 years. Basically robocalls starting with something very short in English and continuing in rapid Chinese.
Cold calls, because I don't have even remotely Chinese name and I've never been to China. I remember reading somewhere that those were some scammers trying to play on paranoia of new Chinese immigrants, but maybe some police types are fishing too.

Thats what Xi said.

There are some in Canada, and while the RCMP says they are investigating......well, let's be honest. It's the RCMP. They'll only take concrete action if an oil company tells them to.

I'm not sure why the Chinese government would need secret police, their consulates do enough harassment of Chinese nationals in Canada.

Are people finally catching on that China sucks?

I got those calls, too. That's a cash grabbing scam, I believe. https://www.pcmag.com/news/chinese-embassy-robocall-scam-rakes-in-40m-from-victims

It'd be kind of funny to see them pull that on one of the Chinese immigrant engineers at my work. She pretty much hates her mother because the mother basically sold her to a factory when she was 12 and pocketed the money she made... until she brought her home a few years later and made her do all the farm work and look after the extended family. If a Chinese intelligence agency threatened the family back home she'd probably tell them to use fresh rubber hoses.

Arrest who? They don't know who it is.

Do they dock rail workers a day's pay for sleeping on the job?

Arrest cleaners for spitting in the laundry?

If such operations are exposed in whatever country in which they operate, arrest them and then shut down and expel their Embassy.  That kind of harassment and intimidation on our home soil is practically an act of war.

How much of this crap are we supposed to take?  A swift kick in the ass is def in order.

Clandestine Chinese Fire stations have been conducting drills worldwide for years.
