The issue of Chinese police stations operating in Canada and other democratic countries has been making headlines in recent weeks, and some governments have begun probing the alleged use of these stations to intimidate overseas Chinese.

Liberal MP John McKay said he felt a sense of “incredulity” when he first heard reports of existence of three unofficial Chinese police stations operating in the Greater Toronto Area.
