Why are Chinese police operating in Canada, while our own government and security services apparently look the other way?
In China, the high-profile TV drama In The Name Of The People has become a smash hit. In that show, Chinese agents enter the U.S. posing as businessmen so they can repatriate a factory manager who had fled abroad with huge ill-gotten wealth.
But a new study by the European non-governmental agency Safeguard Defenders suggests that there might be some truth to the fiction. According to the NGO, the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau has established more than 50 “overseas police service centres” in cities around the world – including three publicly documented ones in Toronto, home to Canada’s largest Chinese diaspora.

The High Court orders confiscation of Spark Alliance's 70 million
The High Court ordered the confiscation of 70 million from Spark Alliance, an organisation that helped raise funds for activists arrested in the anti-ELAB movement. The police stated that since two involved parties escaped, they applied for a court order for the condiscation, which the judge approved because it was in line with the law.
Spark Alliance was formed in 2016 after the Mongkok riot. During the movement in 2019, they raised funds to support arrested activists' legal and daily life needs. The police arrested 4 people from this organsiation on 19 Dec 2019, accusing them of money laundering and froze around 70 million.
