You’ve heard of Starbucks on every corner—now get ready for CCP police stations in your backyard!

Golden Bear takes us on a delightful little field trip to one of these "overseas service centers" (which, funnily enough, isn’t listed on Yelp). These stations have quietly popped up in places like New York, London, and Toronto—all under the guise of "helping Chinese nationals with paperwork" (because apparently, embassies were too mainstream).

🚨 But what are they really doing?

• Silencing political dissidents by threatening their families back home.
• Spying on critics of the Chinese Communist Party.
• Pressuring people into "voluntarily returning" to China—because nothing says "voluntary" like coercion.

But wait—if a foreign government set up an illegal police station in the U.S., surely the authorities shut it down, right?

Well… sort of. The FBI raided one of them in New York in 2023, but the bigger question remains:

• How many more of these exist?
• Why are Western governments so slow to act?
• Would you even know if there’s one in your city?

📢 Watch, Share, and Ask Yourself:
1️⃣ If the CCP is willing to enforce its laws in other countries, what does that say about its ambitions?
2️⃣ Why do governments allow these stations to operate at all?
3️⃣ What happens when corporations start cooperating with authoritarian regimes behind closed doors?
