The Netherlands demanded the closure of two illegal Chinese police โ€œservice stationsโ€ in the country.

On Nov. 2, Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wopke Hoekstra, posted on Twitter that the ministry has informed the Chinese ambassador that the stations must close immediately.

Human rights NGO, Safeguard Defenders, revealed in its September report that China had set up at least 38 Chinese police โ€œservice stationsโ€ in dozens of countries across five continents.

In the Netherlands, such stations were found in both Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

According to Hoekstra, no permission has been requested from the Netherlands for the setup of either station. โ€œThe Netherlands has asked the Chinese ambassador for full clarification โ€ฆ conducts research into the stations in order to find out their precise activities,โ€ said Hoekstra.

In responding to the order from the Netherlands, the Chinese foreign ministry spokespersonย Zhao Lijianย insisted that the stations were run by local volunteers from the Chinese community, not police from China.

Transnational Repression

Earlier, the Chinese spokesperson Wang Wenbin responded to the allegation of the overseas police service stations on Oct. 26.

He claimed those were service centers and the purpose is โ€œto help overseas Chinese nationals in need access the platform to have their driving licenses renewed and receive physical examinations.โ€

Wang Jingyu, a Chinese dissident in Rotterdam, disagreed with Wangโ€™s claim.

Jingyu said, โ€œI have solid and clear evidence to prove itโ€™s a Chinese overseas police station in Rotterdam.โ€

According to Jingyu, a staff member of the Chinese police service station in Rotterdam has been calling him with an official telephone number dozens of times a day, โ€œHe wanted me to turn myself in, to go back to China โ€ฆ threatened me with an officially registered Telegram text.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s exactly opposite from the Chinese foreign ministryโ€™s claim,โ€ he told the Chinese language edition of The Epoch Times on Oct. 30.
