China is operating more than a dozen policing and judicial offices through liaison points in Canada, according to a report by the human rights organization Safeguard Defenders.
The report, entitled “A Formula for Repression: China’s Global Grid for Community Control,” details 1,247 liaison points worldwide where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) monitors the Chinese diaspora, gathers intelligence, suppresses dissent, and aids Chinese judicial authorities and law enforcement.
“Far from closing, the evidence shows expansion,” the report says of overseas liaison and policing facilities that were first widely exposed in 2022.
