A new report has uncovered three more Chinese “overseas service stations” operating illegally on U.S. soil, after one such outpost was identified in New York City in September.

The law-enforcement arms of several Chinese provinces are carrying out operations in dozens of foreign countries, including the U.S., according to that report, released Monday by the human-rights watchdog Safeguard Defenders. The Madrid-based organization, working from Chinese public-source records, identified 54 stations in addition to those it had already found in a previous study, bringing the total number of known Chinese police stations to 102 such outposts across 53 different countries.
