Until you realize these "police stations" are just foreign service centers where Chinese citizens can do things like renew their drivers license, collect pension funds, and other administrative issues.

That's still very strange. Like, if America did it it would also be weird. I'm not saying it's bad to have those services available, but maybe an embassy is a better place for that sort of service?

Then why have there been reports of people being accosted shall we say, after entering the premises?

And an embassy or in this case a consulate does effectively the exact same job that you're saying, it's what almost every nation in the entire world does. So it's weird that they're different to begin with.

They could just go to the embassy like normal people... You also don't need to hide your "administrative office" in a fucking Restaurant...

That's what consulates and embassies are for, no need to have hidden Chinese police in the back of the restaurant.
Show threadFake4000Jun 7, 2023
Agreed. Especially that some of them were in the back of a restaurant. As soon its hidden in a restaurant, you know its shady.

It's part of China's plan. Gradually taking over wherever it can. Research China's influence in Australian universities. It's sickening.

Mentioning facts doesn't make one racist.

I see somebody doesn't know the difference between facts and opinions.

I guess Australia's two most respected news sources are lying. Ok.

Ah yes, because it's inconceivable that western media would lie about China. 🤣

Well, you feel free to choose that particular hill. It's clear what the truth is. I've seen it with my own eyes. Enjoy continuing your Chinese propaganda.

It's clear what I've seen with my own eyes. And that is that. Everything else is clearly, factually, not true.

Only thing clear here is that you've never actually explained what it is that you claim to have seen.

I think the links I've sent are enough to give anyone an idea. You have a great day, and keep posting about China's superiority, as you have been in nearly your complete post history.

You keep talking about some personal experience here, but won't say what it is. You have a good day seething and coping there.

All of these students are lying i guess. I wonder what their opinion is? Especially those who's families were bullied and those that had their passports confiscated.

No, you're absolutely right, there is absolutely no precedent for these kinds of smear campaigns in the west.
