Illegal acts were indeed committed in the alleged “Chinese police stations” and they required the intervention of the RCMP, learned our Bureau of investigation.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers have even recently carried out “disruptive activities” to put an end to it, a source in the office of federal Public Security Minister Marco Mendicino told us.
The RCMP confirmed on Thursday that at present there are no more “police station” activities being carried out in establishments that had been reported in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.
Only activities deemed “illegal” were interrupted by the RCMP, and not the regular programming of these community centers which offer many social services to the Chinese diaspora, the office of Minister Mendicino was informed.
“Certain activities the RCMP is investigating took place in locations where other legitimate services are – or were – offered to the Chinese-Canadian community […] RCMP continue their investigation […] to ensure Chinese Canadians and other Canadians are safe from foreign influence,” the RCMP wrote to us.
The police force, however, did not want to advance on the nature of the illegal acts observed since its investigation is still in progress.

Last week, Minister Mendicino said in a parliamentary committee that the RCMP had “taken decisive action to close” all “so-called police stations” on Canadian soil.
This statement was contradicted by the director of the two Quebec community centers targeted by the RCMP investigation, Xixi Li. She said in a press release that the Sino-Quebec center on the South Shore, in Brossard, and the Service to the Chinese family in Greater Montreal were continuing their usual activities and had not received any request for closure from the RCMP.
Since our Investigation Bureau revealed on March 9 that they were under investigation by the RCMP, the two establishments on Quebec soil have insisted that they have nothing to reproach themselves for.
“Both organizations cooperated with the investigation and they did not refuse any requests. There was no follow-up and other communication”, decried Mme Li, who is also a councilor for the City of Brossard, in a press release last week.
In its latest annual report tabled yesterday, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) referred to Chinese “police stations”, saying it has documented instances where Canadian citizens and permanent residents have been threatened and intimidated, including for attempt to force them to return to the People’s Republic of China.
Senator Yuen Pau Woo will host a press conference on Friday in support of the two centers at the Chinese Family Service of Greater Montreal.
