The Dutch government has accused China of operating two unauthorized "foreign police stations" in the Netherlands and tried to persuade Chinese dissidents to return to China in the Netherlands.In fact, it is an overseas service station involved in overseas Chinese affairs.
The Financial Times on Wednesday (October 26) quoted the Dutch Broadcasting Corporation RTL News reported that the Chinese government was accused of establishing at least two unscubuteable "foreign police stations" in the Netherlands in 2018. These are these.On the surface, the police station is to combat multinational crimes and perform administrative duties, including updating the Chinese driving license, but in fact they are conducting a "persuasion" operation and "coercion in the Netherlands to return to China."
The investigation report of the Dutch media was caused by a report released by the Non -Government Human Rights Organization in Spain in September this year.
The report said that the organization found that China opened 54 similar police stations in 30 countries, most of which were in Europe, nine in Europe, four in Spain, four in Italy, and two in London, England.There is also a Glasgow.
The report said that the so -called "persuasion" operation, including tracking the target's family in China, forced the target personnel to return to China.The report criticized that China's law enforcement strategy is "problematic" because they are targeted at the suspects, and they are not sure that the relationship between these people and crimes is not sure, and they have not complied with the legitimate procedures of the local country.
The organization also said that several EU member states accepted these police stations, including France, Italy, Greece, Portugal, and Spain. These countries all signed an extradition agreement with China.However, the Netherlands did not sign an extradition agreement with China.
In this regard, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Maxime Hovenkamp said on Wednesday that the Netherlands is now investigating these police stations and can take appropriate action when obtaining more information.She said that the Chinese government has never notified the existence of these police stations through diplomatic channels, so it is illegal.
She added that a Chinese citizen was "obviously intimidated and harassed" in the Netherlands, which was very worrying.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs refuted the news.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on Wednesday that the so -called "foreign police station" is actually an overseas service station involved in overseas Chinese affairs.He said that due to the impact of the crown disease, many overseas Chinese citizens cannot return to China to apply for driving licenses in time. The main purpose of service stations is to assist local Chinese citizens who need local Chinese citizens to apply for the Chinese driving license period full of medical examinations and other services.
