It sounds like Canada is freaking out about consular offices doing consular office stuff. Wtf is going on?
Western countries consulates are a dens of espionage, black ops and a wide array of destabilisation efforts.
So, projection again.
There’s nothing else to it than that. It’s offices providing services to citizens abroad. Like every western country has.
I have one of these in my area except it’s for Vietnamese immigrants. And yep. It provides language classes, job help services, financial planning, childcare, housing services, help navigating the systems and services of my city, etc. Its completely normal and I know that it’s one of the first stops for many immigrants and / or refugees as they get acquainted to a new place.
There’s nothing secret about it. If anything it helps people assimilate into their neighborhood. Ridiculous that people think that somehow helping immigrants get comfortable with a new country is somehow a fucking evil plot.
These services are provided by police stations in China. Crackers thought if someone provided those services for chinese people outside of China, it must be the chinese police.
the idea of police stations offering services besides unlawful detention, torture, and extrajudicial killing sounds quaint and almost utopian.
Didn’t this happen last year? Anyway, the British police aaid they didn’t find anything like that
Found the Justice Department press release about this one: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/two-arrested-operating-illegal-overseas-police-station-chinese-government
Funny how they say “operating a police station” so many times without actually stating what that entails.
that was basically it as far as i’d heard. canadian gov’t has lacklustre language accessibility so chinese citizens need more help navigating it
I love shit like this. When it’s something so banal that people aren’t aware of its existence, so they perceive it as completely unprecedented. But yeah, as far as I’m aware it’s just normal consular office stuff as you say.
