While there are reports of the Chinese Communist Party illegally setting up police stations in countries around the world that are allegedly being used to monitor and intimidate Chinese people living in these nations, things were taken to a different level in Canada, the National Post reports.

According to a recent article, Canada’s Federal government actually provided grants to two non-profit groups suspected of setting up police stations on behalf of the CCP.

The National Post provides more details:

OTTAWA – The federal government gave nearly $160,000 to another Quebec non-profit the RCMP believes may be hosting a secret Chinese “police station,” the second organization to receive funding experts fear may have been used to advance Beijing’s agenda in Canada. […]

The issue is that Centre Sino-Québec is one of two Quebec organizations — alongside Service à la Famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal (SFCGM) — that is under RCMP investigation for allegedly hosting a secret Chinese police station suspected of leading efforts to identify, monitor, intimidate or silence critics of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
