Indiana Rep. Jim Banks says State Department, DOJ ‘must explain why the Biden administration has allowed CCP police to set up an office on US soil’

FIRST ON FOX: Several Republican House lawmakers sent a letter to Biden Cabinet Secretaries Antony Blinken and Merrick Garland demanding answers on a reported Chinese police presence in New York City.

Republican Study Committee chairman Jim Banks of Indiana alongside Reps. Michael Waltz of Florida and Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin led the letter to Garland and Blinken demanding answers on why China’s Fuzhou police were reportedly able to open a U.S.-based police arm.

“The Department of Justice and State Department must explain why the Biden administration has allowed CCP police to set up an office on U.S. soil,” Banks told Fox News Digital in a statement.

“When Republicans take back the House, we will hold the Biden administration accountable for their continued efforts to aid and abet the Chinese Communist Party,” he added.

Waltz told Fox News Digital it is “mind-boggling that we are allowing China’s Fuzhou police to operate on American soil.”

“The Chinese Communist Party uses these stations to go after political dissidents abroad, while also endangering the national security of the United States,” Waltz said in a statement. “We must protect the American people and Chinese freedom activists from the CCP’s gross abuse of the American justice system,” he added.

Gallagher warned in a statement that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) “has used Fuzhou overseas police service stations to push propaganda and spy on Chinese citizens abroad.”

“The presence of one of these stations in New York City not only raises serious human rights concerns, but also raises concerns about whether the United States is allowing a hostile foreign adversary to conduct its own law enforcement activities within our borders,” the Wisconsin Republican continued.

“The State Department must divulge the extent of their knowledge of this station, it’s actions against American-Chinese citizens and communities, and the threat it may pose to our national security,” he added.

In the letter exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, the lawmakers wrote of their “grave concern over reports of the law enforcement presence” from China in New York City, noting the “Public Security (Police) Bureau of Fuzhou, China, announced in January 2022 that it has opened the ‘first batch’ of 30 overseas police service stations in 25 cities in 21 countries,” with the U.S. branch hosted at the American ChangLe Association, a Chinese overseas hometown association founded in 1998 that “shoulders the mission of uniting the villagers, fighting for their legitimate rights and interests, promoting the prosperity and stability of the overseas Chinese settlements, and acting as a bridge for the villagers to get rich through hard work,” according to its website.

“According to a recent report by Safeguard Defenders, a human rights NGO based in Spain, overseas Chinese hometown associations have become overwhelmingly co-opted by the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front organizations which seek increasing control over the Chinese diaspora (despite providing some genuine services to local Chinese communities),” the lawmakers wrote.

“The report indicates that at least some of those Chinese hometown associations hosting the overseas police service stations are linked to the CCP’s United Front,” they continued. “It is deeply troubling that the Chinese government could use these service stations as its long arm policing abroad.”

Gallagher warned in a statement that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) "has used Fuzhou overseas police service stations to push propaganda and spy on Chinese citizens abroad."

Gallagher warned in a statement that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) “has used Fuzhou overseas police service stations to push propaganda and spy on Chinese citizens abroad.”

The Republicans pointed to the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission’s 2018 report detailing how the “CCP’s United Front Work Department has worked to suppress the free speech rights of U.S. persons protesting against” them.

They also warned about Beijing’s coercion and bullying activities to push the CCP’s narrative that sometimes verges into illegal actions.

“According to Peter Mattis, a research fellow at Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, CCP intimidation and efforts to promote Beijing’s narrative ‘sometimes crosses the line into criminal actions, such as conspiracy against rights,’” the Republicans wrote.

“The U.S. Department of State has similarly found that the CCP’s United Front Work Department funds and supports overseas organizations to spread propaganda and coerces and bullies those who would oppose Beijing’s policies. In 2018, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo imposed visa restrictions on Chinese officials and individuals active in United Front Work Department’s nefarious activities.”

Banks and his fellow Republicans warned that “Fuzhou overseas police service stations (including their online form) are reportedly involved in fulfilling Chinese law enforcement functions at least in some countries” and “coerce purported Chinese fugitives abroad to return to China to face legal proceedings, which is euphemistically dubbed as ‘persuading to return’ in Chinese parlance.”

“There should be no room for the Chinese government to exercise extraterritorial law enforcement unilaterally on U.S. soil,” the lawmakers wrote. “In 2018 the U.S. government provided the Chinese government with specific requirements for contacting state and local law enforcement in the United States.”

“In 2020 the Chinese government’s campaign illegally targeting U.S. residents to force their return to China had become so severe that the FBI issued an internal memorandum on this issue. The Chinese overseas police service station established in New York City earlier this year appears to be a further step of China’s illicit long arm policing on U.S. soil that violates our sovereignty.”

The Republicans concluded their letter with several questions to Austin and Blinken, including whether “the Department of State, Department of Justice, or any other agency of the federal government invite or approve China’s Fuzhou police to establish a presence in New York City.”

Joining Banks, Waltz and Gallagher on the letter are 18 of their fellow House Republicans, including Reps. Elise Stefanik of New York, Greg Murphy of North Carolina, and Clay Higgins of Louisiana.

China’s police presence in New York City is a symptom of the overall larger issue of the CCP’s growing influence abroad.

Fifty-one Republican lawmakers sent a letter to three of President Biden’s Cabinet secretaries warning that national security is threatened by a CCP-linked company’s efforts to buy farmland near an Air Force base in North Dakota.

The CCP-linked farmland acquisition is far from the first land buy by the Chinese government, and the purchases have been heavily scrutinized for national security risks presented, as they have been approved under both the Biden and Trump administrations. Source

Chinese Police Overseas NY Outpost Can Be Tool for Sabotage in US: Expert

From theepochtimes.com

A report emerged in September that said Chinese authorities have opened 110 police service centers outside of mainland China—including one in New York City—that repatriate Chinese people using coercion, according to a security policy expert, but which also may be used for sabotage or espionage.

Frank Gaffney, the executive chairman at the Washington-based Center for Security Policy, said that as part of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) global transnational repression those service centers can be tools to conduct espionage and sabotage work.

“The Chinese are not simply forcing people to go back to China and stand trial, but they may be giving them directions to do other things,” such as espionage, recruitment, influence operations, sabotage, or subversion, Gaffney told the “China in Focus” program on NTD news.

He said those are the sorts of things we need to “ensure do not continue.”

Gaffney described the regime’s police operations as “instruments of reaching out and not just touching but garroting individuals that they seek to either extricate from wherever they may be and return [them] home to face prosecution there for some cause.”

230,000 Compelled to Return

With such a vehicle, the regime could also “compel foreigners to China to suffer whatever fate the Chinese Communist Party would have in mind for them,” in his opinion.

“Some 230,000 people have been compelled to return to China,” said Gaffney, referring to the report that says more than 110 police service centers operate in 30 countries across 5 continents. “That alone is an extraordinary indictment of what these service centers are actually servicing.”

“China claims 230,000 suspects of fraud and telecom fraud were successfully ‘persuaded to return’ to China from April 2021 to July 2022,” according to the Safeguard Defenders report (pdf).
Gaffney said he believes the operation is likely contrary to U.S. laws given that there is no reciprocity agreement in place to allow the FBI to operate in China.

“That’s the sort of thing that we will not accept, I believe, in our country, not from our own law enforcement agencies, and certainly not from a foreign to say nothing of a hostile foreign one, like the Chinese Communist Party,” he said.

He further pointed to the book titled “Unrestricted Warfare” by two Chinese colonels in 1999, which he said, “laid out … different ways in which the Chinese Communist Party, in a period before they became strong enough militarily to fight us the old fashioned way, could wage war against us.”

“It took the form of economic warfare, political warfare, information operations, subversion, threats to our electric grid, and not least, biological warfare,” Gaffney said.
‘We Really Need a Course Correction’

Given the threat it posed on America, the Gaffney urged swift closure of the New York operation and an immediate investigation to unravel its nature.

The probe should seek answers to questions such as, “Has there been some sort of authorization given to allow the Chinese to do this? If so, on what basis, with what constraints? Is there, in fact, oversight of what they’re doing,” he said.

“There’s a question of who knows about these operations? What do they know about them? Is this being done with the Biden administration’s permission?” he asked.

According to Gaffney, the United States needs to press other governments to shut down operations in their countries, particularly in Canada. He said, “you can find very easily those operations reaching into our country if they were allowed to continue.”

Gaffney pointed to the engagement policy with the Chinese communists which he said President Ronald Reagan went against during his term in office.

“We are still at this moment, engaged in what Ronald Reagan ran against in 1980, namely, détente or engagement policy with this enemy. As he recognized that’s a formula for disaster,” Gaffney noted.
“We really need a course correction on this,” he argued.

“This Chinese Communist Party is not just a mortal threat to us, it is a horrific, indeed mortal threat to its own people.”

“We ought to be de-legitimating it, we ought to be countering at every turn its influence operations,” he said. We need to try “to help the Chinese Communist Party meet an end at the hands of the Chinese people at the soonest possible moment.

“It is in all of our interests that that happen,” said Gaffney. Source

Brethren, I am troubled by the authorities in NYC allowing the Chinese to establish a Police Station on our turf. This is alarming and it will not bode well for America.

Perhaps the Biden regime has signed documents with China of which the public has no knowlege. They blatantly stole the last election and brought the National Guard into D.C. to quell any protests. Why would we put anything past them?

I imagine that our military are on high alert for whatever ensues because the CCP have arrogantly planted their flag in NYC. Are Amerians going to stand for this? Probably so – after all, we are the frogs in the kettle and I think that we are close to being boiled.

CCP Opens Police Departments in the US and They Are in NYC

This definitly does NOT pass the smell test. What in the world is going on??

Joshua from Epoch TV speaks of China using INTERPOL to help carry out this invasion, if you will, of the CCP Police Departments.

Before Obama left office, he amended an Executive order from Reagan which would give INTERPOL the right to be on American soil in a ‘Policing’ capacity.’ Yes, you read that right.
