USA: The Chinese government has opened numerous illegal police stations around the world, including in developed nations like Canada and Ireland, in its quest to become a global superpower, raising concerns among human rights activists.
According to Investigative Journalism Reportika, citing local media, such unofficial police service stations connected to the Public Security Bureau (PSB) across Canada have been established to enrage China's rivals.

Local media reports claim that Fuzhou has set up unofficial police service stations across Canada that are connected to the Public Security Bureau (PSB). Only the Greater Toronto Area is home to at least three of these stations.

Investigative Journalism Reportika also claims that the Chinese government uses these illegal police stations to sway elections in some nations.

According to the Fuzhou police, 30 such stations have already been established in 21 nations.

Countries like Ukraine, France, Spain, Germany, and the UK have such agreements with Chinese police stations, and the leaders of the majority of these nations openly criticise China's rise and its deteriorating human rights records while also contributing to the problem.

Human rights activists have charged the Communist Party in power in China with widespread human rights violations across the nation in the name of security, including the forced sterilisation of women and the confinement of people to internment camps.

China has claimed that these establishments are "vocational skills training centres" required to "counter" extremism and enhance living conditions. Chinese officials claimed that the majority of "trainees" had "graduated" from the centres by the end of 2019.
