House GOP ‘Disappointed’ by FBI’s Secrecy over Chinese Police Stations in U.S.

The House Select Committee on the CCP is pressing FBI director Christopher Wray to provide information and documents about its response to Chinese police stations in the U.S. In a letter addressed to Wray today, GOP members of the panel said they were “disappointed” by a briefing on the topic last month because it failed to answer key questions, such as whether the bureau is aware of additional Chinese police stations on U.S. soil.

The letter follows the April 18 arrests of two New Yorkers for allegedly operating a secret Chinese police station in Lower Manhattan. That illegal Chinese government law-enforcement outpost had become an object of bipartisan scrutiny after its existence was first revealed by the human-rights watchdog Safeguard Defenders last fall.
