Chinese police will patrol in Hungary alongside Hungarian officers after an agreement with Budapest, raising fears of Beijing oppression being meted out in Europe - Feddit

Hungary’s interior ministry claimed the deal would improve safety in tourist hotspots or during events that attract large numbers of spectators. But the plan has drawn criticism from those concerned the agreement will be abused by communist China, which has a lengthy record of human rights abuses. The patrols could be the first step to establishing secret police stations or used to intimidate the overseas Chinese community, they warned.

  • WTF?!
  • I thought China denied that there are any Chinese "police" stations in Europe?
  • I hope the EU permanently cuts Hungary's funding and takes away their voting rights now. This fascist shit in the middle of Europe has to stop.

    I wish kicking out Orbán would become a topic in the election this year

    230,000 Chinese “persuaded to return” from abroad, China to establish Extraterritoriality — (Sep 2022)

    A new law adopted 2 September, going into effect 1 December, establishes full extraterritoriality over Chinese and foreigners globally for certain crimes (fraud, telecom fraud, online scams, etc.)

    A follow-up to this investigation with additional information, ‘Patrol and Persuade’, has been released in Dec 2022, and again in Nov 2023, ‘China’s Consular Volunteers.’

    There are lot of other reports across the web, e.g., for Netherlands, the U.S., and many others.
