China sets up fake police offices in the US to harass Chinese citizens living there. If that doesn’t blow up your mind…
What blows my mind is that you read an article, and brought it up months or years later, and applied zero critical thinking.
What's more likely? China set up fake police stations in America, where they have no authority, so they can be mocked by people they have absolutely no power over?
Or they're there to provide legal services to Chinese citizens living abroad?
The situation is documented by many governments, not just the USA. Your ignorance betrays you.
I’m quite doubtful that you’re aware of the situations nuance, either. Is your best argument “what’s more likely?” Because, actually, I think it’s quite likely that China would have been instructive toward how their citizens should act abroad. I think it’s quite likely that China favors its own sovereignty over an individual’s sovereignty. If you’d try to convince me that there was no intimidation going on, I’d think you’re the one not applying critical thinking. Do you have any reason I should believe you over a much larger consensus between news organizations and reports from Chinese individuals? Anything that would demonstrate the opposite and more benevolent intentions of Chinese state efforts, as you’ve so claimed? Or are you just here to pose baseless claims and talk shit?
