Unless you’re Chinese. Now that we know China has secret police stations all round the world.

Exactly. That's why I wrote : Unless you are chinese, you are far better off being "spied on" by the chinese than a western democracy because the chinese don't have any jurisdiction over you.

> Now that we know China has secret police stations all round the world.

"Secret". You might be watching too many youtube "alt-right" grifters or fox news. Don't worry, we've all been there before.

"That’s why, for the first half of May [2016], the cities of Rome and Milan participated in an unusual experiment: they put Chinese police officers on their streets"

I remember reading about this years ago. Due to the large number of chinese tourists, it was european and american cities that requested chinese police to deal with chinese tourists issues.

It's amazing how lazy and pathetic the anti-china propaganda is.

So when it’s hidden and in secret and used to harass Chinese people and harass their families and attempt to force them to go back to China.

It’s totally fine and acceptable because there is an example of when they wanted non secret help most likely to deal with a language barrier. So everything must be anti China propaganda.

Yeah ok. Nice attempt at playing down the seriousness of people getting harassed by a dictatorship.

Edit: sorry I just realised you created a new account to spread propaganda.

How can it be "hidden" when it's out in the open?

> So everything must be anti China propaganda.

Nice try. I didn't say everything is anti-china propaganda. I said anti-china propaganda is anti-china propaganda. You are spreading anti-china propaganda.

> Yeah ok. Nice attempt at playing down the seriousness of people getting harassed by a dictatorship.

Yeah. A "dictatorship" that is elected. Putin is a dicator too right?

> Edit: sorry I just realised you created a new account to spread propaganda.

No. You spread propaganda. I'm just trying to state facts. And inject a bit of healthy skepticism. People who parrot "dictatorship" because they saw it on the news or heard some silly youtube grifter say it is spreading propaganda.
