Conservative MP Michael Chong is again calling attention to secret Chinese police stations operating in Canada, prompted by a recent incident in France involving alleged coercion of a critic of the Beijing regime, who narrowly avoided forced repatriation to China.

In a May 5 post on X, Mr. Chong described the incident as “a chilling, frightening account of PRC [People’s Republic of China] repression in France.” He added that “this is happening in Canada too—and why the RCMP are justified in shutting down these PRC ‘police stations.’”
