Reply to comment by Em_Adespoton in China taking ‘aggressive’ steps to gut Canada’s democracy, warns Trudeau by hugglenugget
Just WTF? Why is Canada allowing illegal police stations in Canada?? Quote from article: "Beijing had funded a “clandestine network” of candidates in Canada’s 2019 election and just days after the federal police force said it was actively investigating a secret network of illegal Chinese “police stations” in Toronto."

The stations aren’t new, but surprisingly their discovery is… and they aren’t just in Toronto. They’re in every major Western city, plus most African cities and probably others we’re still unaware of.

Because they're not actually 'police stations'. This article actually has pictures of them. One is a convenience store. Another is a 'business association'. It's kind of like saying, "Illegal gambling dens? Why are the police allowing it?!" The reason is because they don't generally have signs on the front door saying, "ILLEGAL GAMBLING DEN HERE".

They are using the same loophole made for and used by certain tiny country since 60s. Same loophole is used by number of other police forces to operate in Canada. Until gov changes law there is nothing illegal about it.

Political candidates found to be taking foreign money or under foreign influence should be punished with 20 - 30 years in prison. It has be be severe enough so that very few people would be willing to take their money.

I saw a Chinese police car looking thing in California this year.

They don't drive around in obvious vehicles. The whole point of their operation is to stay under the radar.

That sounds sensible. However you can see on my post what I saw and took picture of.

Yes, which means that car is not driven by a clandestine Chinese police officer. It's probably owned by someone who's into weird cars.
Considering how far they're going to hide "police stations" inside convenience stores and other fronts, they are definitely not using cars like that.

You seem way too confident in your hypothesis.
It may be or may not be. Hard to tell.

That's not what Chinese police cars look like

Are you just looking at Chinese writing on red and suspecting the worst?

It doesn’t matter if general public doesn’t know what a Chinese police car in China looks like.
