The Italian interior minister said on Dec. 19 that Italy will stop allowing the Chinese communist regime’s police to take part in joint patrols with Italian police in its territory. The decision came after the Italian government was accused of turning a blind eye to covert overseas Chinese police “service stations” set up in its cities.

Italy signed a bilateral deal with the Chinese communist regime in 2015 to let Chinese police officers do joint patrols with Italian police in Rome, Milan, Naples, and other Italian cities.
