Investigating China’s Secret Overseas Stations | 101 East Documentary
In Europe, a Chinese dissident fears for his safety.
He says his life is being destroyed by harassment and threats he believes are linked to a network of unofficial Chinese police outposts - and he says he has evidence to prove it.
A human rights group has revealed more than 100 clandestine “service stations” across the globe linked with police in China, which they say are being used to hunt down Chinese citizens living in exile.
China denies the claims.
101 East investigates allegations of stalking and intimidation of Chinese dissidents and delves into the secretive world of China’s influence overseas.

Yes, Chinese and Saudi propaganda & disinformation is super fun to watch.
That is a fact. The news is rarely true so to get true news channels like this and DW are how i get the truth even about my own country the US, I watch foreign channels for the truth about the US
Funny how CCP always denies what’s obvious but claims what’s not theirs.
yes, it is so obvious there is no evidence except accusation......said a pedophile
typical chinese behaivor
CCP*
They lie to their teeth with out qualms.
It's basically a richer, bigger, more influential version of North Korea.
Or a slightly more authoritarian version of america.
they even broadcast and advertise their 110 oversea police program on media publicly, and still say that oversea police is not real.
Of course, they also complain about foreign interference in China whilst doing that very thing themselves. It’s called classic abuse and gaslighting.
Lol the authorities ditching the investigation because they dont want to hurt China's feelings 😂
Scholsey’s sucking on toes!
Excellent journalism. Well done!
That overseas police service targets dissidents in the guise of providing public service. Yes, they would renew your expiring license and at the same time harass Chinese dissidents.
They kidnap chinese people
I think the CCP are after bigger fish- ex Chinese government officials / or important people connected to the CCP that has betrayed them or stole CCP investment money.
Nice one. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching, dear Tony. 🙌
I have been hearing about this for years.
thanks for posting
Governments around the world need to clamp down on this. It makes a mockery of asylum. Good reporting.
There's a story that in South Korea there were undercover police running a famous seafood restaurant. I've heard other similar stories around the world.
Is it safe to assume that there must be some high ranking government officials who were paid very well to allow this to happen in their countries and to encourage others including the police to look the other way?
You could make that assumption, but you'd be very wrong. Between the language barrier, Chinese communities being fairly insular, and w*stoid naivete, there's no need to purchase officials to overlook such actions, as they'd be overlooked. In fact, trying to do so would be a massive risk, as you'd need to ensure the dumb official you hired not only keeps their mouth shut, but also that they have sufficient authority down the chain to hide your op. And that's assuming the official you target won't snitch on you the next moment. I get the idea that the "authorities" having perfect knowledge is appealing, but it couldn't be further from the truth, especially nowadays, when safe communication has never been easier. There's a Chinese food delivery network in my city that's been running underground to avoid taxes and controls. Whenever I order something, and the delivery guy sees who ordered, they're in absolute shock, and I have to go through the motions of proving I actually made the order, and have to promise I won't tell any other laowai about it. It's a pretty hilarious experience, and the food is top notch, as they make it properly, not the "westernized" version. From what I could find out, they've been running this gig since the 90s, and only one shop got caught once since then.
Thank you for your content
Thanks for watching.
Absolutely insane if true.
The Chinese government openly lies constantly 😂
Still cannot beat the lies by the west like wmd that caused millions of deaths, hunger, a destroyed country, oil stolen, etc
China is attacking Muslims but they forgot there are Muslim news outlets out there which you can’t delete 😂
Omg, still believing that propaganda? You have not seen Muslim vloggers celebrating Eid in China? Go outside mainstream media.
No doubt that there'll be some CCP's agents in this comment section if they can infiltrate into other countries 😂 lol
Not everybody here belongs to CCP but ideologies differ, I don't support those countries demeaning China with a smear campaign and double standard mirror
Julian Assange agrees.
50 cent army
No doubt that there‘ll be some cia, human rights watch agents in this comment section as well.
Great documentary.
Where can I find the "fuzhou public security bureau promotional video"? I need it.
Total stupidity, they leave those who are overseas scamming innocent people but arresting innocent activists....what a country 😂
The CCP encourages the scamming of the westerners. They have call centers in all of the south east asian countries
好问题，中国政府吃饱饭没事做去搞一个无名之辈（也可能是个罪犯，至少他没能力证明他是无辜的，现在都是他的一面之词）。如果政府正要搞他或者有些势力要对付他，我相信他连出国的机会都没有，所有这个人就是个骗子

Just like the way snowden is being suppressed
Absolutely. Evil empire.

R.I.P.
One day, all these Chinese mobsters, who authorize themselves to mess with other peoples lives, will be brought to justice. And then God may have mercy with their souls.
insha Allah
Drama after drama. You have got huge propaganda industry. US news outlets have sadly become a willing partner in this propaganda war. Most don't care about checking facts when the disinformation is about China for fear of being attacked for siding with China in Washington's new politically correct atmosphere. Problem is not china but an ideological bias that west has created in order to defame other countries ! People in west dont check facts but need a story to enjoy and remain active even if it's about bombing and massacreing millions in iraq,afghanistan,syria,libya etc. And i dont know how that makes you like angels of God !
No mercy for CCP stooges.
@@cowpotpi3 Hypocricy and jealousy has no treatment ! You in the west have got addicted to the sensationalized and concocted stories to enjoy and to remain active even if it's bombing and slaughtering of millions in Iraq,Afghanistan,Syria,libya etc. In its more than 240-year-long history since declaring independence on July 4, 1776, there have only been 16 years in which the US was not at war. From the end of World War II (WWII) to 2001, the US has initiated 201 of the 248 armed conflicts in 153 locations, accounting for over 80 percent of total wars fought. Since 2001, wars and military operations by the US have claimed more than 800,000 lives and displaced tens of millions of people. Do you know what this all means ? The US' obsession with exporting war will leave the US with an indelible shame.
The chinese don't believe in the Judai/Islamic/Christian God. You're just wasting your breath.
Please support chanies Muslim human rights in china please stand with Chinese Muslim
yes...and send your money my way.
Overseas travel opportunities for Chinese cops
For those who couldn’t read Chinese. These organizations are called “Tong Xiang Hui”, or home town assembly. They are organized by immigrants who came from the same region in China. To be honest, they can carry a bit of gangster style, just like Italian mafia. Chinese governments’ mistake, is to allow the local government branch to use them to facilitate drivers license renewal. Then it grew out of control. People outside of China tend to think Chinese government has total control over every branch of itself. We Chinese know that the so called Chinese government’s total control is just a joke. It’s 1.4 billion people. No matter how well organized, the party has so many different layers that the top can’t really know what’s going on at the bottom. I think Al Jazeer tried its best to report without bias. But I still think boxing the Chinese government into this ironclad, single minded self consistent entity is just playing towards the western stereotype. The reality is far from that simple. Like any country, there will be good and bad people in the CCP. And evil people will use their rights for evil things such as intimidation, threatening and bribery.
stop talking bullshit, CCP = EVIL .
This is a 100% lie by a CCP stooge account. These police stations are illegal and are to harass and harm people. Put dirty scum accounts like this in notice and report for MISINFORMATION.
That may be true. But you can't tell me that something as organized as this has zero ties to the central government. They have official media as shown in the video and the fact that they are able to harass these people no matter where they go shows that they have connections to the intelligence services. There's no way you just randomly find people as quickly as they seem to find them. I do understand what you are saying though. It is a huge country and as far as local stuff goes there is no way that everything going on could be monitored. However something as potentially damaging to international relations as this would certainly not go unnoticed by the authorities at the top.
Chinese scammers have literally built town-sized scam centres staffed by taiwanese/hong kong/malaysians (anyone who speaks chinese) kidnapped or trafficked under false pretences, e.g. expat job opportunities in Cambodia. Where are these police centres where they might actually be useful? Nowhere because the right people have been paid off i guess. I highly suggest any investigative journalists to look into this. So far i havent seen any western journalists look into this. Give me a shout out when you get your Pulitzer.
I see former white NYPD officers are on trial for helping the Chinese police.
Really?
just uninstall wechat 🙄
They are busy hacking very facebook and yahoo accounts

It's the same like all the powerfull country they have their agents in most of countries some inside the embassies. It's normal, Nothing surprised me. China is big country they must have agents everywhere.
Chinese Overseas Police = COP Chinese Overseas Police Service = COPS I just thought that was an interesting coincidence 🤔
I dont k ow why China is getting away with all of this.😮
So, chinese is learning Mossad oversea tactic.
They may be national security agents but not policemen. The US and Russian have many of the same agents overseas.
…which is still in violation of International Law.
They could be just bought easily by Chinese gov't, this kind of thuggish ppl are all over China and even they moved oversea.
Maybe , but not overtly & illegally harass the political asylum petitioners in the foreign soil.
I feel sorry for Chinese people that have come to learn the facts about their own government. Hope more Chinese learn the facts soon.
has your government doing good for your as the Chinese government doing for its people?
@@stvdmc2011😂😂😂😂
The Chinese ppl have known this for years if not centuries, they also know the consequences of speaking out. Don’t feel sorry for the Chinese ppl, they are a good strong and proud ppl, they are a resilient ppl. ❤️
It interesting though. How did these people leave China? Why would China let them leave in the first place or not revoke their passport. Even if they illegally escaped to another country, they still need to have a Visa to then go to Dubai. I don't doubt that China could be operating oversea Chinese stations, but very little have been done to verify stories of these people.
It's call accusations to justify qualifications for asylum request
That is why they are going thru the process, duh!
HUMMMM... We should investigate what's the connection between WINNIE THE POOH and XIJING PIN THE POOH? What could it be? I suspect the POOH part...
Yes, stop harassing Julian Assange!
I hope this Western media in Qatar will not throw them away like toilet paper after interviews. The West should continue to support them, and these people should maintain their value through constant revelations.
And for what? Talk is talk, it's just hot air. Nothing will ever change by just talking.
yes....need to fast track that green card application
There's a bigger one: the Himalaya Farms across the globe directed by Guo Wengui(Miles Guo). Guo was arrested and detained by FBI but his organizations still active in U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, etc. This network is doing in the opposite way of which they claim they'll take down the CCP government for Chinese people. With the help from Steve Bannon and other far right Republican members, this group established a nation called the New Federal State of China on June 4th, 2020. AJ reporters reported back in 2021 but have not yet followed up.

Welcome to USA
If the Chinese government was really after these people’s lives, they’d never leave China, because one can’t run from China that easily, especially a landlocked city like Beijing. Leaving with your family is a totally different level of impossibility. I’ve stayed on and off in mainland China for 3 years before COVID-19 hit the world and locked down China. You can’t enter, nor leave, China, if the government doesn’t want you to. As long as you don’t go against the communist party, the level of personal freedom one enjoys inside China is more than what one enjoys in most of Asia. Going against any government in most countries, will make you a marked person inside or outside said country, even in alleged bastions of democracy like America, France, or Britain.
are you seriously saying that China is more freer than India? You must be kidding or drunk.

Whenever I see a documentary like this, I always wonder if the person in there is paid or wants a free green card.. any ulterior motives.. sure Chinese may have their operations.. so does CIA with their real jail houses all over Europe and middle East. It's almost impossible for Chinese police to arrest anyone outside of China.. so. Let's dig through who funded this program and who's to gain from it..

because he is arrested by ccp ,but he is not in China
@@user-vi7fl4ez4f It did not answer my question.
Ahh so you are familiar with the common exit ban the CCP likes to use a lot. With the millions of people they love to exit ban, it's not unreasonable to think 1 might have slipped through. Especially when we are talking about the CCP. They screw things up all the time. Just look at how they handled covid😂🤣This is common practice by the CCP mafia. There are videos of CCP police officers calling Chinese people after they left threatening them and telling them to come back to China. They even take your family in China hostage. China is turning into North Korea.
What might not be considered 'dissedent' activities in the past has become more and more scrutinized, many so called 'anti-government' agents are simply people who who have left a few years ago, and freely entered and left China despite have personal grudges against the government, which is many many and they simply voiced their opinion, not trying to conduct anything illegal. I'm not denying there aren't foreign funded activities in China, but there's foreign funded activities in every single country from both enemies and allies, so China is not unique but how they treat these cases and their own citizens is unique. I know a family who had always hated the CCP because of the prosecution they faced during the cultural revolution, when they left China they thought it was okay to share certain articles on the cultural revolution and CCP critiques (they didn't even write them, just sharing articles to their friends from places). Shortly afterwards, their wechat began getting monitored, things taken down randomly and retricted from sending things, when the wife went back to get their mother from China, she was questioned in a room for an hour and told to hand over her phone. Luckily she had a different phone so they couldn't find evidence it was her. That's how scary things have become, they think it was probably tracked from their Chinese identity card attached to the Wechat payment account. 10 years ago this would have been unthinkable. In fact the administration before a certain someone came on was very lax and open to criticism as long as there wasn't any organized rebellion. Funny how stable and prosperous things were back then....the protests earlier this year in China were on a scale not seen since Tiananmen. It's almost as if the harder you try to control people and push, the harder a spring bounces back. Maybe just maybe this current CCP admin might have something to learn from the admin previous 20 years? Just a thought... again not saying the CCP is bad or evil, the previous 20 years post tianamen shows how good things can be under a benevolent dictatorship, but the past 10 years is showing the ugly side of it.
