German officials said on May 15 that they believe the two unauthorized Chinese police outposts remain in operation in the country, though Beijing had promised to shut them down in February.

These police outposts were “not fixed-location offices, but mobile facilities,” a spokesperson of the Federal Ministry of the Interior said at a daily briefing on Monday. Individuals, with some holding Chinese citizenship, conduct “official duties” at the behest of the Chinese regime, the spokesperson added.
