LONDON - British Security Minister Tom Tugendhat said on Tuesday that China had closed reported “police service stations” at sites across Britain, and that an investigation had not revealed any illegal activity by the Chinese state at these sites.
British police have investigated claims made by the non-governmental human rights organisation “Safeguard Defenders” that such police stations were operating at three British sites, Mr Tugendhat said in a written statement to Parliament. “We assess that police and public scrutiny have had a suppressive impact on any administrative functions these sites may have had.”for allegedly operating a Chinese “secret police station” in the Chinatown district of Manhattan. China had said it firmly opposed what it called “the US’ slanders and smears”.The British government has said it was aware of about 100 such stations around the world.
