Dozens of others, mostly Chinese nationals currently
believed to be in China, are also facing charges of engaging in
“transnational repression” against anti-communist dissidents based in
the United States, stemming from accusations that the charged
established an online army of fake social media accounts to harass and
threaten the dissidents.
The arrests are the first in America since the revelation in
September by the NGO Safeguard Defenders that China has established
dozens of illegal police stations around the world in America, Canada,
Japan, Brazil, and Spain, among other locations. The police stations
were reportedly used to intimidate and silence dissidents or threaten
Chinese nationals considered to dissent from Communist Party orthodoxy
to return to China and face the brutal repressive apparatus there." Breitbart
