China says its 'service centers' around the world help Chinese nationals with paperwork issues and are run by volunteers, but U.S. and other authorities say they are illegal police outposts.
Two people have been arrested by the FBI on allegations they helped operate an illegal police station for the government of China in lower Manhattan, a pair of senior law enforcement officials say.In addition to the New York complaint, the sources said, two other complaints were filed in Washington - one against 34 members of Beijing's Municipal Public Security Bureau, and another against a group of 10 people that includes eight Chinese government officials.
The common thread in the three complaints - that the suspects allegedly worked to intimidate, harass and threaten"wanted" Chinese nationals inside the United States.
