Beijing’s overseas police station in New Zealand has been revealed and linked to a Chinese businessman who has close relations with the nation’s politicians.

The “overseas police service station” is located at 115 Great South Road, Epsom, Auckland, which is close to the Chinese consulate in the city and the University of Auckland, according to a contact list of Nantong police’s overseas service stations posted on QQ, a social media platform owned by China’s state-owned tech giant Tencent, in 2020.
