You're viewing a single thread.
Probably for the best
Until you realize these "police stations" are just foreign service centers where Chinese citizens can do things like renew their drivers license, collect pension funds, and complete other administrative tasks
That's what consulates and embassies are for, no need to have hidden Chinese police in the back of the restaurant.
Then why have there been reports of people being accosted shall we say, after entering the premises of places like this?
And an embassy or in this case a consulate does effectively the exact same job that you're saying, it's what almost every nation in the entire world does. So it's weird that they're different to begin with.
That's still very strange. Like, if America did it it would also be weird. I'm not saying it's bad to have those services available, but maybe an embassy is a better place for that sort of service?
Agreed. Especially that some of them were in the back of a restaurant. As soon its hidden in a restaurant, you know its shady.
